Most of the times, when our computer's operating system gets corrupted, we have to reinstall windows. But if we don't have the installation media, then we can use the windows recovery disk to restore the windows operating system in our computer without loosing our data. So, let's see how to create recovery disk for windows 8.
Follow the steps below:

3. Now, bring your mouse pointer in the right corner of the screen and click SEARCH.

5. When the recovery drive tool appears, click the checkbox next to "Copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive"
if you want the recovery tools, such as applications and drivers that
came with your PC to be included in the recovery drive. If the selection
is grayed out, that means your PC doesn't have a recovery partition. Keep in mind that if you do copy the recovery partition, you'll need at least a 16GB USB flash drive. Without it, you can make it with just 256 MB. Click NEXT to continue.
5. Now select your drive in which you want to make the recovery drive. My pen drive's letter isF:\, so I'm selecting F:\ drive. You must select your own pen drive according to its drive letter.
6. Now in the next window, click CREATE button.
7. Now the recovery drive creation process will start and it may take about 2 minutes. When the process finishes, click FINISH button.
8. That's it.Your Windows 8 recovery drive is ready.
