Lost my Recovery D:\ data on hard drive after removing Startup Recovery Mgr
I mistakenly deactivated Startup Recovery Manager to free up hard drive space. Allowed software to run all night to enlarge the partition. My HP has a d:\ recovery partition -- which Acronis could not write back to. Error messages later, the partition is now "empty", I have no recovery software in the d:\ partition, and Acronis can no longer "see" my backup on the usb-connected raid drive (drive k:\ -- which it overwrote with an incremental backup! argh!).
The log file shows that Acronis could not write to the hard disk --
"Error ... Failed to write data on the disk|Failed to write to the sector nnnn". I told it to ignore the message, and all HP recovery files/data are now "gone".
Acronis now wants me to create a Startup Recovery Mgr -- which I'll do after my hard drive is restored again.
Running Vista on HP desktop, have a cavalry backup, acronis v.9 home
**How can I get my original d:\ recovery partition data back?

Following up -- did this magical procedure listed by Oleg recover and reinstall a working HP_RECOVERY partition and the unique HP MBR that accesses it during boot using F10/F11 keys?
Thanks. Awaiting "closure" on this problem listing.
