Windows 10: Problems creating a recovery disk

I cant seem to create a recovery disk for my Windows 10 computer.The recovery disk tool opens ok. I tick the box to create a recovery disk, press next, insert a 128GB empty USB stick, my Virus checker tells me it is inserted but the recovery disk tool does not recognise it.The USB stick is fine as I can access it using folders, I have checked the OS for corrupt files SFC but still no joy. The computer just sits there waiting for me to insert a USB stick.I tried the USB socket on the from and back of the PC, inserting different UISB sticks and still no joy.Any new suggestions welcome

:)

How To: Create recovery partition.

it worked when i copied all the files of the disk to the recovery partition i created, but i had to use WinPE tab to add the entry.

Type: WIM Image (Ramdisk)
Name: Recovery
Path: Z:\Sources\boot.wim
and hit Add Entry
I tried it in VirtualBox and it worked.
At first, it would add a second "Windows 7" entry to the list, but when the installation is finished, the old one is deleted. (I formatted only C: partition)
