If you have applications or games installed on other partitions, clone each of these partitions, too. Here are the steps to take after you've made the USB recovery disc:ġ - Make a clone of the recovery partition that's on your SSD/HD.ģ - Make copies of any data on any other partitions that you do not want to lose. Unfortunately, testing the USB recovery disc takes a bit of work. I have heard of USB recovery discs not working-although this should be rare.
However, it's wise to test your USB recovery disc before you delete the partition.
