Hi NG!
I heard that the latest generation of Notebooks has a hidden partition
on their HDD to boot from in case of emergencies. However, I dont have
this feature on my notebook, so what is the best way to implement it?

What is the best way and which software is helpful to create an image
to boot from (cd/dvd AND hdd)?
Ideally I would like to choose from a boot menu from which I can choose
at the beginning (before I boot my OS) which OS/Version to boot: "Win
XP Regular" or "Win XP RECOVERY IMAGE".

I am quite new to this and it would be great if you guys could advise
and/or suggest tutorials/software!?

Thx and best regards,
Igor


The best place to find information is at the manufacturers support site or any documentation that was supplied with the Notebook. It may very well be that the partition is there and when you use the Recovery/Restore disk it has the files on it to access the partition which then runs the Recovery/Restore.
