Hi,

I recently purchased a Thinkpad W500 and it came with Windows XP SP2 on the recovery partition. My restore disc and the current operating system on the machine is Vista Business 32. I was wandering if it is possible to update the OS on the service partition to Vista Business?

Unless you've got IBM's recovery partition writing software, no.
