Default How to restore secret partition

Hi,

I accidentally reform the secret partition (with recovery info) and now F11
is not working. I saved all the files on the partition and would like to
know how I can restore it and make F11 work again.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Contact the computer manufacturer as you have altered the recovery system
that they have made available to you.

If "reform the secret partition" really means the OP formatted that
partition, using Partition Magic (which hasn't been owned by PowerQuest
for ages) will not help. The OP needs to contact the OEM's tech
support.

true, but I'm not a great fan of Symantec, so I recommend her using the "old"
version (like 8.x) PowerQuest owned before Symantec bought PowerQuest.
