    Hey
    I just recently purchased a T270P/L (I just bought an SZ; this is just a portable secondary laptop)
    And everything went fine, until I tried to create a Recovery Disc.
    When I clicked on the recovery wizard, it said the recovery partition is missing.

    However, after cleaning out alot of the cr@pware that sony included, and installing a few of my own apps (i.e. windows live messenger, IE7, FFox2, etc.), there's still over 14GB+ used, so I'm assuming the recovery partition is fine, just not completely accessible.

    Is there anyway to check if the partition is fine?
    The laptop also came with a recovery disc, so would restoring the whole thing with the disc give me back the recovery partition?

    it should give you the option to install recovery partition during recovery.
