Hi,
I have a laptop (just one drive-160GB) with windows XP , and an hidden recovery partition from the manufacturer, and another apparently useless partition(only 39 MB !!) of which I ignore the reason - a total of three partitions.
As I will change partitions soon by resizing the main one and splitting it, I would like to know if the recovery partition will be still useful, and if I will be able to recovery the original system. I mean I am wondering if the recovery partition can be used after the partition structure has been changed.
I know that an analogue case has been treated in post

but I am interested in starting the recovery from an hidden partition, that belong to the disk I want to recover, and I would like to know if there are any differences.
thank you, I am looking forward to your reply
