Odd as it seems, this was exactly what HP did.Įdit2 - and BootItNG may be able to 'unhide it' if there's one there. Chances are it's there if you have the option of creating a disk set. That is if you're lucky enough that the Virus didn't 'eat' your recovery partition (if it exists). FREE & FAST shipping, 30-day return policy, & friendly customer support.

However I had to cancel out as it looked like the recovery process had hung. Find your perfect PC or Mac compatible hard drive, USB, or memory card. Heck, the HP's (probably since Only Partition Found rule applied) would boot into the Recover Partition without even 'activating' the partition. I just bought my Vaio FW21E a few days ago and havent done too much with it as I wanted to Create Recovery Disks in the VAIO Recovery Center first.

I can tell you that IF your PC has that god-awful Hidden Recover Partition (like HP had), you can get XP Boot floppies from MS, destroy (delete) the original 'bad' partition, set the 'good' Hidden Partition to Active, reboot and the PC will automagically recreate the original C: partition.
