Hi Dontee, a recovery Partition is basically the same as a recovery disc but all the information and files needed to recover your PC are stored on the hard disc in a seperate partition, A Partition is basically when you take a hard disc and split it up into smaller chunks, the recovery partition is on one of those chunks..

Hope that makes sense lol

EDIT: Recovery disc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
