So I was trying to fix my recovery partition in my friend’s Asus laptop and everything was fine till it popped out with 1029 error. This is a common problem with Asus laptops and the reason is unknown but I have finally found a way to fix it.

1. First of all you will need a Hiren’s boot CD. Download it, unzip it and burn it into a blank CD.
2. Once you get the error message, take the recovery DVD out and press OK so the laptop will shut down.
3. Turn it on, press F9 couple of times while laptops boot up, insert Hiren’s boot CD and restart it. Once Hiren’s boot CD loads up – choose the first option from the top “Boot Form Hard Drive”.
4. You should now see the recovery partition language option. Just remember it may not work for first time and remember about F9 in step 3.
