Dell Inspiron One 2305 recovery partition is broken
Well I finally did it! I finally found something I did wrong to my computer. For the most part I have kept excellent maintenance and have done backups on a regular basis. Ok so here is what I did wrong. I read online that if you partition a drive, that it makes the recovery partition inoperable. Is there a way to repair the recovery partition? If it involves deleting the partition I made, I will. I installed a BETA Windows 8 OS on the partition I made.
Disk 0:
39MB Healthy (OEM Partition)
Recovery 14.65GB NTFS Healthy (System Active, Primary Partition)
OS (C:) 816.83 GB NTFS Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)
Windows 8 (W:) 100.00 GB NTFS Healthy (Logical Drive)
These are the backups I made:
Purchase date (2-19-2011)
Repair Disk (2-19-2011)
Recovery Disks (4.37Gb DVD's X 4) 2-20-2011
A FULL backup of the HDD including Recovery Partition with Acronis 2011 (84.6Gb) 5-30-2011
And I made a copy of the Recovery Partion (about 6Gb's to a USB stick of 8Gb's. (I made this before I partitioned the HDD)
Im not a complete PC geek sorry to say, although I wish i was. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You posted in the PowerVault Storage forum. Which PowerVault storage device do you have?
If you have a desktop or laptop, I suggest posted in those respective forums.
