Recovery Partition

[xxthebeastxx]

Awhile back I formatted my Gateway T1620 from Vista Home Premium to XP. I hate xp, I have no drivers working practically. I still have my recover partition on my E:\ drive how would I go about USING it? Can I do a full format using it?

Any help is appreciated

EDIT:
Wow no one knows..?

Press f8 while booting. Select "System Recovery Options" (Or something like that). Do the "Factory Image Restore."
