    Hi,

    Is there a way to recover a recovery partition? I deleted it, but then I lost the USB drive.

    did you delete it? assigned to other partition? If so, there is no way to revert. Question is why would you need it anyway?

    First thing I did with Z22 was to delete that 11GB recovery partition. Waste of (expensive) SSD space. I always install regular W7 version (never liked OEMs) and download latest drivers from sony support site (US and UK). There is also registry tweak if you want to add Sony picture in Control Panel System properties (just like OEM).

    Cheers,
    Miki
