Dell installs and configures WinRE on the local hard drive of every server that is purchased with a factory-installed Windows Server 2008 operating system. The Dell recovery partition is customized WinPE to act as the Windows Recovery WIM. The main customization is to include the winpeshl.ini in the WIM for the system to launch the WinRE shell during the startup. To inject any additional hardware drivers, Dell uses two tools also found in the Windows AIK:    The unfortunate side of this, is that the outside of the factory, this installation file is not available. I don't have access to it and it is not for download anywhere. This means partition will not be created during installation and to get the custom WinRE partition back you would need to build it.   Here is some more information on the WinRE environment that may help you. [URL] [URL] [URL]
I How is the Recovery partition made?  I have a 3rd party backup solution.  I replaced a disk controller.  I restored all of the partitions.  I tested running the Diagnostics, and it booted fine.  When I The diagnostics worked fine, it boot fine, and all data was available.  Then I tried Recovery and got a BSOD.  I'm wondering now if I need to run the Dell Systems Build and Update Utility Disk to build a new Recovery area, and then when it asks where the backup is, reboot, go into the 3rd Party restore for the C: and D:.  I notice the LifeCycle controller can do a lot of things.  Does the Recovery partition ever get updated?  Do I need to make a new one when I change controllers?Thanks!
