Asus recovery partition options 1,2, or 3??

I have a UL20FT and I am wanting to restore it back to like it was when I first bought it. It didn't come with recovery DVD's... just the recovery partition.

It gives me 3 options:

1 - Wipe the entire HD clean and install OS to a single partition (C: )
2 - Reinstall OS on the first partition (C: ) and leave the rest alone.
3 - Reinstall OS and create 2 separate partitions (C: and D: )

From the factory it came with 2 partitions, C: and D: but I'm afraid if I choose that option, that it might wipe out the recovery partition. So my question is, will any of these options wipe out the hidden recovery partition and prevent me from reinstalling in the future?

 

Here's the exact wording. Does anyone know if any of these options actually delete the recovery partition?

Recover Windows to first partition only
-This option deletes only the first partition and allows you to keep other partitions, and to create a new system partition as drive "C".

Recover Windows to entire HD
-This option deletes all partitions from your hard disk drive and creates a new system partition as drive "C".

Recover Windows to entire HD with two partitions
-This option deletes all partitions from your hard drive and creates two new partitions "C" (60%) and "D" (40%).

 

The Recovery partition will not be touched by any of these options. If it was then how would it manage to refresh the system when the partition deletion/creation take place before the file copy process?

Dude, I didn't even think about that. Thanks!!
