Thanks for the help, I managed to reinstall the OS perfectly. But is there any way to make a bootable backup copy of the OEM partition? There is an option to make a recovery media in Dell Backup and Recovery software but that creates a image of file size 300MB, but what if the partition gets corrupted?

Hi Adib254,
Refer the following link which has steps to create recovery disks:

If the recovery partition is corrupted, we would not be able to create recovery media.
Please reply for further questions.
