Recovery Partition

I have seen a couple of computers where they have a seperate partiton on them that holds system restore software. Basically when you need to recover your computer instead of putting in your recovery disks you boot to this partition and run the restore.

Could someone please tell me how this was created or indeed if there is any software that helps create this for you - I want to do the same for a couple of computers owned by friends and family so that they can restore without calling on me.....

Thanks

normally, when your system is completely ready - all applications and drivers installed - you would make an image of the drive.
Depending on the installed applications, the size of the image may vary. Once you have the image and it's size, you can make a partition on the drive that holds it.
Now all you have to do is boot with the image boot disk, point to that partition, and let it install
cool.. thank you!
