Dell DataSafe Local 2.0
I attempted to use Dell DataSafe Local. It told me the Recovery Partition was missing or corrupt and it could not perform a backup. In Nov 2010 I had to do a clean install through the guidance of a Dell technician. How do I get the Recovery partition back or repaired? I contacted Dell support today but they apparently could not understand why I wanted to do this since I could use Windows Backup. Is there anyway to get the Recovery Partition back or repaired?
In looking at Admin Tools->Computer Mgmt -->Disk Mgmt I find the Recovery Partition listed, and the system says it is "Healthy (System, Active, Primary Partition). I also find the following file is missing: C:\dell\Image\Factory.wim How or where do I find that file and get it back on my system. And, will that be sufficient to get the system to use DataSafe Backup?
Windows 7 Professional, Dell Studio 1557, 6GB
