📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a user who backed up a recovery partition from an ASUS S551LB notebook running Windows 8.1 before repartitioning the drive. The original recovery partition cannot be restored simply by copying it back, but the user created a recovery USB stick, which should be functional. The user is seeking guidance on how to restore Windows 8.1 using the recovery data stored on a flash drive, but the existing responses clarify that a recovery partition copy isn't sufficient—restoring Windows typically requires a proper recovery image or the original recovery media.

What was the original OS. The 'copied' recovery partition won't work. You would have had to image it. Only then you could restore it.
