Netbook recovery partition

I bought a new HP mini notebook. it's great.
I made a backup of the hp recovery using the windows 7 tools and placed the backup on an external drive.

I repartitioned the netbook drive in anticipation of ubuntu 10.10. But it's been a real let-down, the new interface stinks.

so how do i create a 'bootable recovery usb drive' for the netbook on my windows 7 desktop computer where I am able to access the external drive which has the recovery partition backup file?

Ok i can give you details of how to make a bootable usb stick for installation of windows 7, you can use this for repairing your windows 7 system file;

I think thats what you mean?

let me know

That's not quite what I meant.

I have a backup of my HP Mini Netbook Recovery partition on an external drive. I want to use it to restore my HP mini netbookto windows 7.

Thanks.
