    I'm looking at the disk mgmt on my g501vw and none of the partitions is large enough to hold a windows recovery installation.

    Do asus notebooks no longer come with recovery partitions?

    Must clean install via usb drive if total system failure?

    Did you purchased it as a stock unit?

    But you do have a partition labeled "recovery"? Or no? If so, how much space is it using?
