    The recovery partition is the same information as your recovery disks. If you don't have recovery disks, you need to start up your recovery manager and burn the partition onto 2 dvds or 1 DLDVD.

    I also have a recovery partition in my Vostro 1400, but it has no image. I have heard a few other cases like that.
