How can I create a recovery partition in memory as an option when booting the PC so that I can check all partitions including the system one that typically loads Ubuntu. This way I can fsck for example the partition that is normally running Ubuntu but without having it running it at that moment.

The recovery partition would have access to some tools to check the disck, memory, etc.

Is this doable?
