Hi all,

Right i have a little situation and would be very greatful for some
pointers.

I purchased a HP Pavillion DV9000 laptop and it works a dream. It came
stocked with XP MCE and i decided to use a beta release of Vista to give it
a try.

To give it a fair test i installed Vista on a fresh install as the only OS.

I now want to go back to XP for various reasons. . . i.e. the beta is
running out, but i have no XP disk and no way of accessing the recovery
partition.

Is there a way of connecting the recovery partition that i am unaware of? or
any other way to retrieve my copy of XP from this partition as i was not
given a disk?

Many thanks for your help and time.

Ben
 
I should add that i have tried right clicking on the partition and selecting
explore as stated on the HP website, however this did not work for me.
