    Help with HP System Recovery partition

    There werent any cd's supplied with the laptop when i bought it, thats the point of a recovery partition. There are som files on the partition, there only one file and one file, that takes up 168kb of space, yet the partition uses 8,3 gb.
    After having read many forums about people who has done the same as me, several managed to boot into the recovery partition, its just that i wont work for me. Im wondering if its windows 7's fault.
