adding original recovery partition

[alexfue12]

A while back, I totally screwed up my computer, which was then a Windows XP Home machine, and got it reformatted and put XP Professional on there. When I got it back, though, my recovery partition (the part of the hard drive with all the things for recovery and stuff) went missing. Is there anyway to make another partition with all the files put directly onto the partition without the CD or am I SOL?

SOL if the partition and contents are gone. Sorry.  :-/

The alternative is to order a new drive, complete with recovery partition, from the maker of the computer.

Expen$ive, if even possible.  :-/

have any idea where I can get it because I already searched through tons of search results on HP, but no cigar.

Contact HP directly. You will get it nowhere else, and as I said that may not even be possible.

It would be cheaper to buy a copy of XP and a copy of Ghost or True Image to make your own I suspect.
