How can i restore the lenovo recovery partition after losing it?
I recently upgraded to a larger SSD on my X1 and the samsung "magician" (mofo!!) warned that he would clone only the system partition and if there's a recovery partition on the source drive, you can kiss it goodbye.
First of all WTF samsung?!?!!
But more importantly...has anyone successfully rebuilt the lenovo system recovery partition with F11 functionalities intact?
I have MiniTool Partition Wizard Pro & Server Edition 9.1 & Paragon Partition Manager 15 Professional 10.1.25.377 and am willing to use alternatives if shown/proven to give me more control of the task at hand.

I have the media. thanks. been through this before unfortunately. i also found a cloned image of the factory defaults from 2014 (when i had to use the recovery disks) which i think i will restore to disk after a file level backup and profiling of settings/apps.
Thanks for the refresher, I was procrastinating knowing the task would cost me a good half day.

Thanks for the update and I was happy to help.
If it is another OS, reinsert the old disk and check if the factory restore partition still works. If it does, use the builtin tools of the OS or of Lenovo to create a set of Revocery DVD's or USB stick.
