deleted boot recovery partition

[vrooom]

Accidentally deleted my boot recovery partition. Doh! I haven't turned off my PC since.
The 100mb boot partition is still there, but a 16GB boot recovery partition has gone. I've scanned it and recovered all the data (I think) but I can't restore it as it's not visible within windows. I have a boot repair disk and the Acer recovery disks I burnt when I first had the PC. I don't have a Windows 7 disc.
I'm not 100% sure of the consequences of what I've done, or what happens if I just reboot the PC.
Any suggestions for the best way to proceed?

I strongly suspect that that partition is the one for restoring the machine to factory state, and you can reboot just fine. No version of Windows has that large a system partition.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that was the case. Is it possible that the machine would fail to boot because it couldn't find that partition though?
Also, is there a way I can restore this recovery partition do you think? I'm nervous in case the PC doesn't re-boot (either now or at a later date) and I can't reset it because the restore files have gone.

OK, I've just rebooted the machine without any problems. Many thanks!
I'm still slightly unsure as to what would happen if my machine fails in the future; would my boot repair discs still work?

If I had to guess, you would have to fall back to the Acer recovery disks. Which will wipe all of your files, so be sure that you have copies.
