Don't know if it has been discussed yet.

I got a x60 with vista. Then I installed xp pro on D drive so now there are two os co-existing on my laptop.

The question is, it seems that I cannot access the pre-installed hidden recovery drive anymore. There is simply no such choice when I press the blue button at starting up.

How can I access the hidden drive if I want to re-install vista sometime?

Thanks!

I got the same problem (just posted a new thread)
I want to do a restore from the hidden partition but its not an option when pressing the thinkvantage button.

If you look at your drive in XP's disk management utility do you see the recovery partition? It will be called something like 'servicev0001'.
