One of the items on that page is this:
Create a set of recovery discs or a recovery DVD
Creating a recovery disc set If your computer can open to the Windows desktop, you can find out if the computer has Recovery Creator software installed.
1. Click Start , All Programs , System Recovery and then click PC Recovery Disc Creator.
2. To create the recovery disc set, open the software and follow the on-screen directions.

I believe it's not true...does not use a hidden partition on the hard drive
Very same link:
The PC System Recovery is an easy-to-use suite of three utilities that restores individual driver and programs or restores the hard drive on the PC to original factory condition. The PC System Recovery utilities are installed on a special partition of the hard drive, and are available at any time to return a PC to a known good operating condition.

If the machine is bootable, even in Safe mode then the CD/DVD can be created on the computer. This is a one-time ability from what I've seen. Once it's used you can't do it again. Stupid! I provided directions on how to do this in my prior post.
If you can provide information that shows how to do this with a non-bootable machine I'd love to see it, as would Capt.trunks I'm sure.

Click Start , click All Programs , select System Recovery , and click Application & Driver Recovery .
Again, if you can point to the specific text I'd really appreciate it.
Matt, F10 is the normal Fn key to press when you want to start the recovery process from the hidden partition as you said. I have a HP and Compaq that I'm working on that I did that with this morning, but nowhere in the documentation for the HP Pavilion zv5000 does it mention it. All it talks about is recovery CDs or DVDs.
If F10 works, that would be great!

You're not...hahaha...I didn't say F10. I was reading very same thing:I don't mean to be dense
However, all HP/Compaq computers, I dealt with, had F10 option.Click Start , click All Programs , select System Recovery , and click Application & Driver Recovery .
