Windows RE Partition Problems

Well i ended up doing a clean install, i tried to wait for guidance, but each time i got to format quick fs=ntfs label="Recovery" it always replied with parameter incorrect, and was stuck there

It was the same for me. That's because the partition was "RAW" beforehand. Deleting and recreating it using diskpart won't work.

The last time I used MiniTool Partition Wizard, about a month ago, I tried to align a partition, and the software turned the recovery partition into a RAW partition.

Did Minitool say a partition or partitions needed alignment?

Highlight disk then click on align all partitions and Minitool will report whether or not they need it.

In my case they did not.

Should not align unless Minitool reports they need it.

I just ran the report with partition wizard to be sure none need to be aligned.

I had already run this check a month ago, and one partition needed alignment. After restoring the system backup, I tried MiniTool again, and none of the partitions required alignment.
