Hi everybody,

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.

Well, the answer to the question:

how can i do this with my PC?

Should not be "go and buy this COMMERCIAL software"

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

In the meantime a (once Commercial/Shareware) MBR bootmanager has gone Opensource:

acronis true image can do exactly what you've asked

and the button to enter recoery process (before windows starts) is F11 too

really simple to use

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.
