How To Get My Recovery Partition Back?

I have a Sony VAIO PCV-2220. With Windows XP Home Edition. I just created the Recovery Media Kit and used it to re-install the factory software. When I try to start the Recovery Media from my computer it gives me and error “Recovery Media cannot find the recovery partition”"Restart the computer.” I did and it gives the same. Never happen this before until I used the Recovery Kit that my computer helped me to create. What can i do to get the partition back?

Why Would My Windows Xp Hard Disk Partition Be Intermittently Becoming Corrupt?

From time to time when I start up my computer, the E: partition is “missing”. The data is still there, and I can recover it by fixing the partition tables, but I’m curious as to why this might be happening, and it definitely doesn’t give me a warm fuzzy feeling to continue on this way, as E: is where My Documents is located. Disk Management shows the partition as healthy but unformatted. Trying to access E: brings up a dialog that says that E: is not formatted. Note that the C: partition on the same physical disk (and from which Windows boots) has never been affected. The disk is a 250GB SATA disk on SATA channel 0. There are two IDE devices on IDE channel 0; a hard disk and a DVD drive. Windows XP Professional SP2.
Basically, I’m trying to determine what is causing this, and any help you can give would be appreciated.

Recover Deleted Photos From Canon A520? Memory Card Reader Absolutely Necessary?

I accidentally reformatted my memory card and am trying to use photo recovery software to restore the pictures. Apparently, to use photo recovery software with an A520, I need to buy a memory card reader because my computer reads straight from the camera and does not assign it a drive letter. Does anyone have any idea how I can go around this issue? I am in Argentina and don’t really feel like hunting around for memory card readers.
