Recovery Wizard (7, 8, 8.1 & 10

Question, I am trying to create a recovery disk using my USB as the destination. while Windows is seeing the 32GIG USB it is not working. (1) tried the recovery method it will start to go through the steps until it ask enter a USB Drive, do it but it is greyed out, attempted over 20 times, no luck.
(2) tried to create a system image, now it states that the USB drive is not valid, the USB drive is set for NTFS, it has 32GIG (29.8) free, partition F. what is the true answer. I even went through the steps of formatting, re-install windows and needed programs and tried again, same end result. I know that I can clone the drive but this is not what I am looking for.

Note

The checkbox is greyed out when your PC doesn’t have a recovery partition. The recovery drive will include only the recovery tools and a bootable image, but not a recovery image to use for refreshing or resetting your PC.
