Maybe you could be able to use the available files in order to create own disk. Found interesting threads:

How to recover deleted "Recovery Partition"

Ok so I apologize in advance if this story is a bit long, and horrifying (actually it's probably entertaining xD). I purchased the Lenovo y510p gaming laptop on back on July 14th 2014. I got the laptop, and it just didn't work for me. It didn't play the games I wanted it to, it had overheating issues, the keyboard had a really sharp edge making typing uncomfortable as well. After installing Sony Vegas and Avast, and just shifting some of my personal photos/music over, I made a backup of the laptop using the OneKey Recovery software. This backup was made to one of my 500GB external hard drives. So I then decided that I just didn't like the laptop, and it was time to return it. I called Newegg, and got my RMA all ready to go. Because I had lot of my personal files and programs, I decided the fastest way to delete everything would be to use the OneKey Recovery by Lenovo, and do a factory reset. At the time, I didn't think anything of this then simply putting the laptop back to exactly how I got it. I even booted it up after the factory reset, and it looked just like the first day I got it. Fast forward 2 weeks, and my RMA is denied from Newegg: Your RMA (RMA Number: 60470880) return was received and sent to our Inspections Department for closer examination. 34-313-740 NB LENOVO IDEAPAD Y510P 59406636 RTSystem has been modified/altered original manufacturers operating system has been removed cannot access restore partition, this voids Newegg warranty. Unit cannot be accepted or resold as received. So I was completely shocked as to how I had managed to delete the recovery partition, I didn't modify the OS in anyway, and I phoned Newegg to check what was going on. They confirmed that the tech people at the returns department could not reset the laptop properly, because the recovery partition had been deleted. So, the laptop is being shipped back to me this week, and my question was what on earth could I do to recover this "deleted recovery partition?" If the OneKey Recovery still works, I don't see why it woudn't, then I can restore the backup that I made on my external hard drive from Day 1. That should bring back this alleged "recovery partition" that's been causing all hell to break loose lol. If however, I can't access that OneKey Recovery, I believe I'm in a huge pile of trouble. Newegg said that if I can manage to recovery that lost "recovery partition" then they will honor my RMA and refund my money. At this point in time, I'm trying to salvage my situation, and think and act quickly as Newegg does have a 30day only return policy. I didn't do much with the laptop when I had it other than test a few games, so I honestly have NO IDEA how I could've deleted the recovery partition. But I'm not thinking of that anymore, and thinking ahead as to how I can recovery this deleted "recovery partition." Thanks for reading this horror story, and I really appreciate any responses.

Man I am overwhelmed by the amount of thoughtful and informative responses I'm receiving, thanks so much guys. @Rocky- They are shipping the laptop back to me this week, I should have it by Friday. The first thing I'll do is go into Disk management to see if the recovery drives are there. Tbh, I doubt Newegg would purposely rip me off, so I'm expecting the drives to be missing. If they're not however, I'm taking pictures and probably dancing because I'll be so happy haha. If the drives are NOT there, I'll see if I can load up OneKey Recovery, and restore my backup, and go from there. Also yes I'm sure I bought it from Newegg, no third parties. @neok- That's exactly what I was thinking! I did the OneKey Recovery, then packed the laptop up and sent it for shipping. Then I get a RMA denied and I was completely shocked. That made me wonder if you could only do the OneKey Recovery once maybe, but I contacted Lenovo and they gave me a letter, written, saying what the OneKey software does. I then forwarded this email to the supervisor at Newegg, but she told me that the fact of the matter is that the "recovery partition" is not accesible anymore, and they're not honoring my RMA unless I retreive it. They were very adament about this. Also thanks for those links, I did a few Google searches myself and those are generally what I found. The reoccuring theme in those cases seems to be people resizing their partitions. I did not do that, simply played a few games, didn't like the laptop, did a factory reest, and boom. That's all I did. If I'm unable to use OneKey Recovery when I get the laptop back this upcoming Friday, I'll consult with those links. Thanks! @Zoltan- Yeah honestly I want to be furious with Newegg, but then seeing as they're really quite strong on their grounds that I somehow deleted it, I'm trying to think back to what I did. However, I find it hard to believe that I would delete the recovery partition, even accidently, because I only had the laptop for a day, and all I was really doing was transferring my photos/music, and installing a few programs. My desperate last attempt to salvage my money will be calling Lenovo and requesting the recovery media, even if it costs $60 or up. The only problem with this is that they might take a while to ship the disc. I only have until around August 14th before Newegg's 30day return policy kicks in, although I spoke with the Newegg supervisor, and she granted me 1-2 days of grace. I could order the CD right now, before I even get the laptop shipped to me, but that's risky seeing as I might not need it at all, if I can still access the OneKey Recovery. The more I think about it though, if I explain my entire situation to Lenovo, they might send me a free CD which I could then order right now, saving me a few days, and serving as more of a precaution then anything. Thanks so much for the replies guys, last Friday was the most stressful day of my life, this RMA was denied, and then I thought about it all day at work. I think I could've been more aggressive with Newegg, but I have no real legal documentation to show them. I mean yes even if I did delete the recovery partition, which I didn't, but let's suppose I did. Deleting software is still not any means for flat out rejecting an RMA, and refusing to refund $1300. I just wish I had some sort of legal document to refer Newegg over to .

Recreate deleted recovery partition in Lion

My iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) came with Lion installed. I deleted the recovery partition when I triple booted with Windows 7, Ubuntu and Mac OS.
Is there any way to re-create a deleted recovery partition in Lion? I've read that you can download Lion from the App Store & write it to a USB using the Disk Utility.
I am currently dual booting with Mac OS X Lion (10.7.4) and Windows 7 (installed via Boot Camp).
Please give step-by-step instructions if possible.

Actually, have you tried the Internet Recovery Firmware mentions in the article I sent you before?
If you have a newer Mac system, then as long as you have the latest firmware updates installed you should be able to use Apple's Internet Recovery feature and can bypass the need for a local Recovery HD partition. Apple recently released new EFI firmwareupdates for mid-2010 MacBook and Mac Mini systems that enable Internet Recovery, but there are also updates available for newer 2011 Mac models that do the same thing. With the Internet Recovery enabled in the Mac's firmware, to use it you just need to restart with the Command-R keys held down. If there is no local Recovery HD partition available, then the system will ask you to join a network. You will need a Wi-Fi connection available that is secured with a WPA or WPA2 password (other forms of connection such as WEP and certificate-based authentication will not work), and then the system will download and boot from a recovery image file obtained from Apple's servers.

Deleted Recovery Partition and It no longer shows up on reboot! HELP!

Accidently deleted Recovery Partition and it no longer shows up on reboot! HELP! I'm trying to install windows on my mac so i do some CAD, but i don't want to proceed without getting the Recovery Partition back.

If you deleted the Recovery volume, the only way to create your Recovery HD again is by reinstalling OS X. If your Mac came with the OS X version you have, start in Internet Recovery (holding Command, Option and R keys) and reinstall OS X

Toshiba WT tablet - Deleted recovery partition

Hi,
I had problem with Windows 8.1 so I tried to refresh system, but I couldn't do this and then I tried to get my tablet to factory setting and what suprised me that now my tablet don't have partition and I only see " No bootable device-please restart system".
So I can imagine that I deleted my windows 8.1 from my tablet :( How can i repair itn how can I instal windows again?
Please help me!!!

Hi
I presume you didnt create recovery media (USB), right?
From your other posting I presume you have WT8-A model so please download users manuals document from here and check page 50. There you can find detailed instructions how to restore preinstalled software from the recovery partition.
Please check it and test it one more time and send some feedback.
In worst case you must order original recovery media from Toshiba.

Option to delete recovery partition is lost after recover discs are made.

This doesn't seem right..
I used Thinkvantage tools to make recovery discs. Also in this tool was the option to recover the space of the recovery partition and add it to the overall C-drive space.
Unfortunately, now that I've made (and boot-tested) the recovery discs, I can't get back into the recovery disc tool to make use of the partition. Is there any other way to run the recovery partition removal tool, or will I have to do it manually?

Encore Mini WT7-C-100 - how to delete recovery partition

Hi all,
I own an Encore Mini WT7-C-100 tablet with only 16GB storage.
After following all possible and existing solutions and recomendations in order to free up storage, free space on C: is limited to barely 500MB.
On the other hand, I noticed that the resovery partitiobn is almost 3GB large.
Though it seems that there is no way to remove this partition and extend C: in order to gain more disk space (3,5GB would be more than enough for me). Right clicking on this partition in Disk Management displays no avaliable actions (except "Help").
Please notice that I have already created a copy of the recovery partion on a USB drive (various posts in various forums indicated that Windows, after finishing with the copy on the USB, would propose for deleting the recovery parition but not such thing happened).
Please advice how to delete the recovery partition or for other actions in order to free up disk space in C:

Try to start the recovery using the HDD recovery procedure.
If you want to access the boot menu on please press and hold the "Vol+" button and turn on the device pressing power button.
After a few seconds the boot option menu will appear.
Then select "HDD Recovery" and the rest of the procedure is similar to the Windows 8 recovery process you can find here:

If this doesn’t help, try to recover the Toshiba WT8 / Encore tablet from a created recovery media

If you don't have the recovery media, you could order this here:

Exist recovery partition but won't access to reset laptop to factory seting

Dear all,
I am using Toshiba satellite L855-S5186, and bad luck, I erased disk by toshiba tool. I inserted windows 8 DVD to check partition, and result is : windows 8 partition lost but Recovery partition still exist and full data, OMG, lucky. And then, I restart and press F12 to display boot menu but I cannot find Recovery HDD.
1. Please help me clone Recovery data to Recovery USB and I will boot from USB, or better, Can you help me the way to boot from recovery partition.
2. Can I use recovery USB of other Toshiba satellite L855-S5186 to recovery my computer.
My model: Toshiba satellite L855-S5186

Thank you for your help.

Solved!

I think that you have to have Win 8 bootable to get into the recovery program. I believe that if you can find an exactly identical computer you can make recovery media on it or you can buy it from Toshiba.

Mavericks won't install after accidentally deleting recovery partition on 10.6.8

I have been searching for hours for a solution and found none.
Essentially, I was running 10.8 on my MBA which originally came with 10.6. Wishing to perform a clean install of Mavericks, I accidentally deleted the recovery partition. Installing Mavericks would then always crash midway; so eventually I reinstalled my original OS from the bootable disc from apple. Then I figure I had to create a bootable disc for Mavericks, which I did, and the result is the same, the installation crashes midway.
Any other way I could install 10.9?
Thanks

Mavericks creates a recovery partition while installing.
So, no previous recovery partition needed.
But playing whith partitions could be a mess.
Try a clean reinstall.

Windows 10 clean install - Delete Recovery Partition

Hi, I upgraded my Yoga 2 to Windows 10 last week. Unfortunaltely, I am experiencing some issues. Sometimes I cannot see any differences between the buttons of the Quck Settings (former Charm Bar). All buttons have the same color whether they are activated or not. The Start Bar does not work probably either. Most of the time I cannot delete or add icons. I delte them but they do not disappear. I have to restart Windows to do this.I though about doint a clean new install using an USB drive and an external Keyboard with Touchpad via an USB hub. I already created the USB drive and it is recognized from the BIOS. As my battery was not fully charged I waited with the actual installation. My question is if I could delete the recovery partition while doing the clean install to have more space on the SSD? There was a partition manager in Windows 7 but I am not sure whether or not there is any in Windows 10?Should I copy the current recovery partition first? This should be the original Windows 8.1 Recovery or did Windows 10 overwrite it with the upgrade? Thanks for your help!

UPDATE 4 SOLUTION:
Somehow everything started to work on its own, maybe there was some kind of download on the background of windows, and before formating to windows 8 back, I decided to restart windows few times, and everything got fixed.
Thats my strange solution..... At least its working
So I suggest you to do every possible update on windows and 10 do few restarts, there are some background updates that we can't track probably, so let them settle and restart pc.
