The Dell laptops usually come with a recovery partition which in some machines are hidden by default.The laptop which I bought from India had the partition visible and I was surprised when i didn't find one in my fiance's laptop. In case you are wondering how to see if Dell has hidden the recovery partition in your machine :
You are all set. The recovery partition should be visible now.
- Click on Start -> Type in "cmd" without the quotes which should give you a command line exe in the search results.
- Right click and Run as Administrator.
- Enter diskpart in the command line.
- DISKPART> Enter "list disk" without quotes.
- Select the disk number . I had only one connected and so "select disk 0"
- Type in "list partition" . This
- Type in "select partition 2" ( 2 was the recovery partition in my case)
- Type in "assign" : this should assign a drive letter to the recovery partition.
You are all set. The recovery partition should be visible now.
