Drivers in FactoryImage Partition

[Steve R]

I'm working on a HP slimline S3323W with a factory recovery partition (D:\). Is there a way to get into it and copy the drivers and other software setup files one may want? When I try to open or explore the drive it just says Recovery Partition. No view of the files. I would like to do a clean install to eliminate the extra stuff and would like to copy some of the files.

I think when you create recovery disks, it creates ONE, and ONLY ONE copy of the Operating System, I don't know if it also copies the Drivers.
