Recreating RECOVERY partition Error

Windows 11
Windows 11 24H2. I replaced the 500 GB SSD SATA drive with M.2 drive and cloned the OS over to the new drive successfully, and it is running. Old drive removed. The new boot drive is drive 1 (not drive 0). But the new cloned drive has no RECOVERY partition. So I followed several identical instructions for recreating space for a RECOVERY partition. I can get as far as formatting that partition (1GB). But when I run SET ID=DE94BBA4-06D1-4D40-A16A-BFD50179D6AC (with or without OVERRIDE), I get the error "The specified TYPE is not in the correct format".

I get that repeatedly and this same Set ID instruction is in every online instruction that I have followed. What am I doing wrong? This is a UEFI system.Screenshot 2025-08-10 171843.webp

Maybe there is a space after the last C.

When you created this disk, did you specify a GPT disk type?
Code: 
diskpart> select disk 1
diskpart> clean
diskpart> conv gpt

If you didn't, then it might be a MBR disk and "id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac" doesn't apply. What was your process for cloning this disk?

OK. Solved. Somehow my computer had reverted to MBR mode. That did not prevent Windows 11 from starting but it DID prevent me from using the required SET ID. It may have happened during the clone process of the OS. Ran the entire clone process over again and this time the partitions were correctly shown as GPT.

When the BIOS/drive is Legacy/MBR use the set id command.


When the BIOS/drive is UEFI/GPT use the create partition command.







set id (Diskpart)​



Code: 
 Important

This command is intended for use by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) only.

Changing partition type fields with this parameter might cause your computer to fail or be unable to boot.

Unless you are an OEM or experienced with gpt disks, you should not change partition type fields on gpt disks by using this parameter.

Instead, always use the create partition efi command to create EFI system partitions,

the create partition msr command to create Microsoft Reserved partitions,

and the create partition primary command without the ID parameter to create primary partitions on gpt disks.

set id

Reference article for the Diskpart set id command, which changes the partition type field for the partition with focus.
