    Pay $20 for a recovery disk from HP like I did. And no I don't know about your issue.

    You will not be able to get the recovery disc out of that partition, however, you can actually use the recovery partition for, well, recovery. Hold ESC while the computer boots and press the key indicated for Recovery. It will automagically restore your laptop to the state it left the factory in.
