Neighbor's hard drive in his Pavilion is dying. I can access all files on the FACTORY_IMAGE partition, but not the main partition due to hard drive issues. He did not make a set of recovery DVD/CDs. I have the hard drive plugged into another computer. Is it possible to recreate the recovery DVDs from the FACTORY_IMAGE partition with the main partition damaged and the hard drive in another PC? I am aware that he can order replacement disks from HP, but it would be nice to slap a new hard drive in this weekend and get him back up and running. Thanks.
