I freaking HATE the restore partition. Notebook computers don't even come with an OEM disk anymore. So when I switched to a larger, faster HD in my Thinkpad, I had to call IBM and get them to send me the disks.
And even then, the disks only create a restore partition! I was hoping for a fresh re-install without the trial-ware, but no such luck.
