Hi, I urgently need to access the Recovery partition of my G75.

I accidentally removed the EFI partition on my G75 whilst installing Linux Mint. I recreated the partition but it is lacking the EFI files needed to access the Recovery partition. The original Recovery partition is still intact, I just can't get into it to run the tools. If anyone could provide me with the EFI files needed I would be eternally grateful.

I could work with either the files themselves (with path data) or an image of your entire EFI partition.

Thanks in advance.

Mike

Thanks for your response. It's a G75VW and originally had Win 7 on it with UEFI. I assume the EFI files for the recovery partition are reasonably standard across the G75 range so am prepared to try them from other models as well.

I take it back, this EFI is for a clean Install, I just remember that My NB has a clean Install so the EFI would be different than stock I think?
