    Hi :)

    I have an asus X56S laptop and i need to recover the recovery partition that i had deleted (i tried recover it with some recovery partition tools but it's imposible)

    Can I do a copy of the recovery partition from an asus F8SN laptop with Norton Ghost (for example) and write it in the another laptop?

    I think maybe possible because are from the same line but not from the same series, but have similar hardware and the vista version is autoselected by the serial number of the laptop, i think!

    What do u think? thanks!

    edit: if the recovery DVD is the same, i think will be the same recovery partition

    (sorry for my bad english :p)
