    If you haven't hosed your windows install you could use Ai recovery to burn a DVD set.

    You can use a bootloader like GRUB to get to the hidden partition. But that's a bit advanced...

    Or you can use a disk utility like gparted to copy the hidden partition to a USB drive. Then you can boot from the USB drive and do the recovery from there.
