Can the Dell restore partition be reinstalled?
I am about to replace the hard drive on my Dell Latitude D820 and have all the discs that came with the computer. When I install Windows on the new hard drive, is there any way to reinstall the Dell recovery partition? I don't want to clone the old drive because of too many error messages and prefer to start out with a clean install of Windows XP Pro. Thanks!

Not as such, but you can purchase a copy of Acronis True Image or Symantec Ghost and make your own images. I would strongly suggest making them to an external hard drive - the point of imaging is to have a fail-safe way to restore the system if the drive fails, so it's not wise to put the image on the drive itself.
