How about using Disk Management in your current Windows installation to make the recovery partition the active partition? Click Start, right click My Computer, select Manage, select Disk Management. Right click the recovery partition and select Mark Partition as Active. Then reboot and with any luck it will boot from the recovery partition.
Warning: This will make your system unbootable if the recovery partition doesn't boot. Maybe a better idea would be to create a live Linux CD such as Knoppix and use its partition manager instead. That way you can set the Windows 7 partition active again if the recovery partition doesn't boot. 2010/6/11 Jaroslav Dostál <[email protected]> > Yes, I've tried that with no success.
