    A Dell tech guided me through a clean install. After all was done, I noticed that my recovery partition was completely full. I found out later from another tech that I hadn't reinstalled media direct from the CD. So, I started another clean install using Media Direct. Now I have no recovery partition. Do I need one? If so, how do I create one?

    Thanks.
