I needed to do a reset using a
USB recovery image on my surface RT since i can’t pass the surface logo when powered on
So I downloaded the recovery image for my surface from the surface website,At the end of the download a message popped up saying that install.wim is corrupt. I downloaded it again and same happened.
I followed the instructions after extracting the zip file onto the usb (which i bought earlier just for this purpose and has 16gb and FAT32 formatted) And the install.wim wasn’t copied into it.
When i reached to the troubleshoot option there was only 3 options; refresh. Reset. Advanced options.
When i hit refresh it says: the drive where windows is installed is locked. Unlock and try again.
When i hit reset= unable to reset, a required drive partition is missing.
Please help ASAP I need it to continue my studying

You will need to use another browser to download the recovery image again (Don’t use the same browser). The correct size of SurfaceRT_BMR_10.8.17.0.zip is 2.89 GB (3,033,416 KB).
