I have been trying to create a Windows 10 recovery drive with Back up system files to the recovery drive checked. When I first tried, it would fail giving me the message "We can't create a recovery drive" with the added info "A problem occurred while creating the recovery drive".
Then I did a clean boot. It got a little farther and started writing to the USB drive but got stuck at maybe 15%. It failed and said some files are missing.
I have a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series 7559 laptop with 2 hard drives. A 128 gb ssd where Windows is install and a 1 tb data drive. The main drive has 4 partitions: 100 mb - System, 16 mb MSR, 118 GB - Windows C: and 450 mb - Windows RE Tools partiton. The data drive is D:.
The SSD is GPT and the data drive is MBR.
I think it may have something to do with it not being able to find winre.wim. Could the problem be with the bcd file winre reference. Could that be why creating the usb fails?
When it fails, the usb has the following folders: boot, efi and sources with files: bootmgr, bootmgr.efi and reagent. Each of the three folders have a few files in them for bcd or for Dell scripts in sources.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
