recovery partition vanished
Are there any reasons why a laptop may no longer have its factory built recovery partition still on it? My freind bought a laptop claiming to be new from a "PC shop", i.e. a bit of a PC Dr type setup, but I am not sure its essentially a factory build, as there doesnt seem to be a recovery partition as quoted in the devices user manual. What could they have done to remove it on purpose or by accident. Please list all the possible scenarios that could lead to the rp no longer being on the PC.

Does this work if you create the windows recovery disk while the OS is "messed up" from a trojan infection. I.e. should you have created this recovery disk when the PC was new and in a clean state. Wont creating this disk now cause issues. If its that simple then great, but I suspect it may be more complex than that,. I beleive the windows liscence is OEM not retail in case that affects anything.
