Explore HP Recovery Partition. Make more recovey DVDs?

I just received my HP Pavilion dv9075.
After instaling TOTAL COMMANDER and enabling show hidden files i could explore the entire recovery partition.


I made 2 recovery dvd (the second is scratched but I can still see the files) so I compared the files with those from the hidden recovery partition. They are the same. Only some files are not present but the structure of folders and the sizes are the same.

I also managed to copy the files from the recovery partition on an external hdd. I have noticed that it contains boot.ini file and others............ that means boot instruction.

My ideea... to copy all these files on another partion and from there burn it.

This parition is too big for one dvd so it will need a dual layer.

Maybe it will work to burn all the files on one dual layer dvd and use it as a recovery DVD.
That means that the limit of only one DVD from HP recovery tool may be gone.
