I've got a recovery partition on my laptop (/dev/hda1), which I must boot into to recover my copy of XP. I have two other partitions, /dev/hda2 and /dev/hda3. Hda2 is currently filled with a windows installation and currently is the active partition.

I need to boot into the recovery partition. I've tried using Disk Management in Windows. I've got a copy Xubuntu, which can function as a live disk. I might have a copy of Ubuntu somewhere. I've got a Windows installation disk which I can use to access the recovery console. I'm open to any suggestions, I only need to boot in /dev/hda once, then I'm good

Please help me!

UPDATE:

Don't worry, I got it. Sony has stuck a hotkey for booting into the recovery partition on bootup. That was incredibly nice of them.

Someone can delete the thread now kthxbye
