    To make things easier, here are issues and fixes, as well as commands for some. I also provided timestamps for everthing in the video. I recommend reading this through, as it has some information that may have not been mentioned in the video.
    Issue 1 (3:12) - Recovery at beginning of drive and/or multiple recovery partitons.
    - Delete them all and then make a new after OS partition. Be sure to shrink the OS partition by 750MB and make that a recovery partition once the others are gone. Best to watch my video instead of giving commands for this one.
    Issue 2 (11:04) - The Windows RE image was not found.
    - Get Winre.wim from a Windows 10 ISO and place into C:\Windows\System32\Recovery then try to run the enable recovery command again.
    Issue 3 (12:34) - The volume you have selected to shrink may be corrupted.
    - Try restarting and see if it runs check disk automatically, if not run "chkdsk /r /f /x" in an admin CMD. After the check disk, you should be able to shrink.
    Issue 4 (13:49) - The specified shrink size is too big and will cause the volume to be smaller than the minimum volume size
    - Recommended to move your recovery to your C partition and then delete the old recovery partition after. Here are the commands (Remember to create "Recimage" folder in C drive, so it can save the image of the recovery properly):
    diskpart
    list disk
    select disk (OS disk)
    list partition
    select partition (Recovery partition)
    assign letter z
    exit
    dism /capture-image /imagefile:C:\Recimage\RecPart.wim /capturedir:Z:\ /name:Recovery
    reagentc /disable
    dism /apply-image /imagefile:C:\Recimage\RecPart.wim /index:1 /applydir:C:\
    reagentc /setreimage /path C:\Recovery\WindowsRE
    reagentc /enable
    reagentc /info
    Deleting old recovery partition:
    mountvol Z: /d (If it's still mounted from before)
    diskpart
    list disk
    select disk (OS disk)
    list partition
    select partition (Recovery partition)
    delete partition override
    exit
    Issue 5 (17:04) - None of the fixes seem to work, what to do next?
    - Do an in place upgrade of Windows 10, be sure to fully update Windows and to reboot once none say downloading or installing (It's a bug). Delete Windows.old after from settings which the video shows how. Recovery update MIGHT install on 2nd try if you are lucky, if not do resizing stuff again. Upgrading to Windows 11 would also fix the issue, but I know not everyone wants to go to 11.
    Common questions:
    1. Can you make the recovery partition the original size again after you get the update installed? (21:11)
    2. What to do if no recovery partition? (21:55)
    3. If your recovery is on C, can you move it back to a recovery partition? (22:26)
    Comments:
    1. Issue creating the recovery partition itself (23:01)
    2. Diskpart error when formatting recovery "The parameter is incorrect" (23:54)
    3. File system does not support being shrunk (25:09)
    4. Recovery partition won't delete (25:54)
    The final wrap up (27:07)

      My recovery partition is close to the beginning of my partitions, but my primary partition could only be shrunk by 250mb, bc i guess thats all the freespace it had to give, is it possible to delete my recovery partition, then extend the primary, the shrink the primary so all the unallocated space is in one spot for the recovery to overtake?

    Hello Julia! Thank you so much for covering so many "fixes" for the Microsoft's Windows Update error 0x80070643 Windows 10 KB5034441. I have completed the entire process twice, increasing my Window RE partition by 250 MB each time. My Window RE partition has gone from 990 MB to 1.46 GB. I still get the Windows Update Error (0x80070002) after all this. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Fantastic, thanks Julia. Had been waiting months for Microsoft to fix this but I don't think they ever will. My issue was that after creating the recovery partition at the end, I didn't have the winre.wim file in the Recovery folder so reagentc /enable wouldn't work. I had to download the media installation file from Microsoft, create a USB file, then download 7-zip and extract this file from install.esd and copy it over. Got there in the end :)

    I have the same issue that is shown 24:52 here. Everything went smoothly and exactly like the video from the previous video about this subject until I tried to format.
    The only anomalies I saw compared to how your command prompt was looking, is that my windows RE status was already disabled to begin with in reagentc /info.
    Also, in the same info screen, there is actually no Windows RE location pathway, it shows show : and then void. Only the line below it says boot configutation data (BCD) identifier etc.
    Does this mean my PC doesn't have Windows RE?
    edit: just checked, when I tried to enable Windows RE, it told me there was no image found

    • @JuliasTechSpot
      @JuliasTechSpot  3 месяца назад

      There is also some other XML file that needs to be in the folder, along with Winre.wim. I found that out recently and that is probably why it isn't letting you enable it. I can give you one or you can get it from a Windows 10 ISO. Make sure you have both files before trying to re enable again.

  • @gamecontroller6420

    Tbh basically just create new disk space after c drive and then clone the partition which is also good thing but this is also as efficient aswell.

  • @YMica-OSE
    @YMica-OSE 5 месяцев назад

    5:29 GParted is optimized mostly only for Linux file systems, so it might not be able to handle Windows file systems well and therefore may lead to corruption. I suggest using tools that are often included in 3rd party WinPEs since they are made specifically to handle Windows related file systems. Of course be sure to have a backup of your data in case if the worst happens.

    • @JuliasTechSpot
      @JuliasTechSpot  5 месяцев назад

      That is true, however surprising it worked for me a lot. I do think though maybe other partition tools are better for Windows instead.

    Hi, thank you for your videos. I followed your first one and got the error that it wouldn't reenable. So I followed this video and put the winre.wim in the Recovery folder but it still wouldn't enable. So I downloaded windows 10 and did the upgrade that you recommended. When it finished I did all the updates and then noticed that error one wasn't showing. I checked and it said it had updated it. I didn't even have to go in and do all the steps again. I don't know why it took it but I'm glad it did. It doesn't even look like the partition is any bigger. Just thought you might want to know. Thanks again.

I'm not sure where to go from here. Do you have any ideas?

    • @JuliasTechSpot

      Did you try following the fix for that? If that did not work, try the repair install I did and get it fully updated, and if its still failing the update try the steps again from my original video. Be sure to disable recovery before when doing the steps again, as not disabling it can cause the error you are receiving.

For more information on the command type: HELP FORMAT.'' Everything else was going smoothly up to that point.

    You know your stuff.
    But you are wrong in saying;
    “Do not use a 3rd party solution cause you can lose your data”.
    Mistake 1:
    Always, always, ALWAYS make a FULL hard drive backup, BEFORE you touch your hard drive!
    Now, answer us:
    - Do you really believe such 3rd party tools are “bad”?
    - Do you really believe that don’t follow the SAME standards that MS uses to shrink partitions?
    I have never lost data with a WinPE or Linux based partitioning program, NEVER!
    But I ALWAYS make a full backup, right!?
    Now, a “3rd party”, WinPE partitioning program will use the EXACT SAME calls/procedures/Win-API as what Windows use to shrink a partition!
    So, again. do tell us that 3rd party, Windows based partition software is “dangerous” and then back the claim with ACTUAL DATA!

      There's no denying that having a backup is always a good thing before disk operations, However, there is also no guarantee that 3rd party tools and sometimes even native tools can modify your disk safely.

      Yeah exactly. I do not like telling others to use 3rd party tools unless they have a backup first. Most won't use a backup and I don't need people coming to me saying they lost important data.

    I had the recovery partition in front so I delited it like you said, added one in the back so far everything ok, but when I added winre.vim to my c windows32 recovery, nothing happens when I reenable reagentc? It still says the windows re image was not found? Any other ideas how to fix?

      Try the repair install I did in the video as a last resort.
