Moving recovery partition from 120gb SSD to 1T HD?

I've just received my Vortex IV LE, and I've noticed the SSD (where Windows 7 is installed) contains a hidden partition, presumably for recovery. I have two questions:

1. How can I perform a recovery from it? That would be pretty useful, since I opted to have a second HD instead of a DVD drive.

2. Is it possible to transfer this partition to the other HD? It makes little sense to have a lot of data just sitting on a SSD, specially since it's almost never used...

Any help would be much appreciated. :D

The welcome booklet should tell you how to use the recovery partition (if that's what it is). Usually there is a Fn key you press at startup to tell the BIOS to boot the recovery partition. That being the case you can't move it unless your BIOS allows you to specify where it is (which I doubt). Give PCS a call and talk it through with them.

If PCS have supplied you with a Win 7 installation disc, very much doubt that it is a recovery partition. It is more likely to be a system reserved partition created during the W7 installation for booting. In any case the size of this partition is only 350 MB.
