    Is it in front of everything on your first hard disk originally?

    After I upgraded Vista to Ultimate, that partition became the last partition on the hard disk.

    Anyone can check if your HP_RECOVERY partition untouched?

    can you still boot into the recovery manager? That would show that it still works.

    Yeah, kind of. Press F11 only one time never works, press F11 several times (sometimes combine with other keys) will bring it into recovery session.

    But Recovery Disc Creation never works, saying recovery partition not found. I am wondering if partition position may cause the problem.

    An upgrade cannot cause the partition to move around physically on the disk. It is where it always has been.

    There have been some updates to the Recovery Disc manager, so check HP's web site for them. That might fix your problem with making the discs.
