I think the easiest way is to search on here how to dual-boot with PE in the Windows Boot Menu?

From what I've read on the internet, HP uses the following software to create

the recovery partition. Here is a link to the software,

Moreover, Acronis also has software that allows one to create a recovery partition.

Dell, uses Ghost software.

Should not be "go and buy this COMMERCIAL software"

It can be made with freely available tools, read these:

Of course not.

We like to suggest random and senseless ideas and see if other members actually have the guts to try them and mess up their systems.
