Moving HP Recovery Partition

[mrSHEiK124]

I managed to make a quick Acronis True Image back-up of the recovery partition before the drive kicked the bucket, which thankfully saved the MBR as well as the Track 0.

I'm restoring the Recovery partition as an Active partition, as well as the MBR/Track 0. Think I'll be able to press F10 and get the computer to work?

Alright, it boots the Recovery partition/program just fine, but it's kicking me out of it with some obscure error, perhaps because the partition is at the beginning of the drive + there's no "Windows" partition. Gonna use a LiveCD/GParted real quick and see if I can fix it.

Ive successfully done it with Gateway PC's, should work with a HP as well.
