Asus AI Recovery-Recovery Partition Does Not Exist (Solved)

Scenario: One beautiful sunny day, you thought of creating a set of recovery discs for your Asus laptop so you fired up the AI Recovery software. You clicked on the "Start" button and suddenly you noticed that you forgot to buy your DVDs.

 At the moment, you panicked and the first thing you did was turning off AI Recovery by clicking on the "Stop" button. Here's where the nightmare started!

When you came back with the 4 DVDs as requested and turn on AI Recovery again, the "Start" button grayed out and it's stated there "Recovery Partition does not exist".

And at the same time you noticed that there's a new partition at your Computer window with the name "RECOVERY" which you couldn't get rid of. What should you do??
 Just relax, it's just an easy fix. First thing you have to do is to go to your C Drive. Then click on "Program Files".

Once you get into the Program Files, look for the "Asus" folder.



















Next, get into the "AI Recovery" folder.
Done? Okay, now double click on the "ChangeHD" file.
 A black "cmd" window will pop up, don't panick, just part of the procedure.
 All you have to do now is to wait for the process to complete.



















Once it's done, go to "Computer" and check if the "RECOVERY" partition is already gone.



















That's all for today, thanks for reading :)
