For those who want to do recovery for laptops but not be able to access recovery partition for whatever reasons.
I've found this amazing program that will help you access recovery partition on your laptops
http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
- Download Super Grub2 Disk and burn to CD/DVD
- Change Boot Sequence in BIOS
Insert CD/DVD into CD-ROM then restart laptop
- If you config Boot Sequence in BIOS properly it will take you to Super Grub2 Disk page
- Follow the instruction and find your recovery partition (the recovery partition name will vary)
- Select and boot from recovery partition it will lead you thru the recovery process
