Recovery & OEM partition
Hello guys, this is my first post in the community.
Well, I have a "little" problem with my Laptop Dell Vostro 3560. I bought it when I was in the US, but now I live in Costa Rica. Today, when I'm installing again my Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-Bit, my original Recovery Disk was damaged, so I used my friend's Windows Disk (Win 7 Professional SP1 64-bits) but, when I choose the partition to install the new Windows, I deleted accidentally the "Recovery Partition" and thanks to god I dont touched the "OEM Partition".
And this is my question... I will have some problem in the future? The Recovery Partition was important? How can I recover the recovery partition?
Thanks for your time to answer my question.

Hi Razpiel,
Dell DataSafe Local provides recovery technology to Dell consumers by shipping a recovery partition containing a copy of all the factory installed software. This protected partition will boot even when Windows does not run and with Dell's factory recovery software will allow you to reinstall all of the software that came with your Dell computer.
However, once the partition has been deleted, it cannot be recovered. In case you face any issues with the operating system on your computer, you may have to re-install using the Operating System disk. Prior to reinstalling the Operating System, always back up all important data on an external storage device to avoid data loss.
Though you have deleted the recovery partition, you may find the link below helpful:

Thanks & regards,
