I recently upgraded a Dell laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro, doing a clean install. I then created a system recovery disk. Disk management shows the OS partition, a recovery partition, and an OEM partition.
When I use the Windows 7 restore utility, I can successfully backup files. However, when I try to create a system image, it fails indicating it can't find one of the partitions - though it shows the OS and the recovery one as the ones it will create an image of.
I'm trying to save over a network, btw.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Should I try to delete the recovery partition? Is that safe to do?
