Help with ServiceV002 partition after Windows 7 Ult upgrade

[x420actionx]

Hi All,

I recently upgraded my t61 from Vista Ultimate to 7 Ultimate, and after everything was said and done, I noticed that the recovery partition was no longer visible. I am able to see the drive when using "disk management" though it shows no letter assigned to it and it is described as "healthy (Recovery Partition)". I know most people get rid of the partition but I personally find it useful and would very much like it work like it used to, as I am no longer able to access the predesktop recovery area during reboot.

I want to find out if there is a way for the computer to recognize, access and assign a drive letter to the recovery partition. I thought having the latest version of Rescue and Recovery would help but it didn't change anything. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
