    in my knowledge there is no way you can restore or creat hidden partition in your hdd like they store.may be you can contact sony or give special offer to your buyer.

    Well unlike an OS, you cannot just restore a partition after it's deleted. It's gone forever.

    What you can do is provide the new owner with those recovery disks, so that he/she can restore their system any time they want.

    If you made a complete backup of your recovery information on a dvd, you can put those in your notebook, and boot back up. Upon doing so it will ask you if you want to do a "complete restore"
    What that means is all the restore information on your dvd backup will be used to recreate the recovery partition on your notebook. I have done this already and worked great.

    You seem to have missed the question here. He asked how to restore a "deleted partition", not how to restore the OS to it's factory settings.

    No, the poster is right. Restoring the system to the same exact factory settings (& that includes checking the create a recovery partition or something) will make sure that the whole system is restored to the way you 1st receive the laptop (& it means with all the bloatware & the recovery partition). By the way, you'll need to have made the recovery DVDs to do this.
    Quite possibly the STUPIDEST & LAZIEST IDIOT at NotebookReview.com with a lot of DUMB QUESTIONS!!!
    Please kindly forgive me for my stupidity & ignorance if my comments/questions ever offend you!
