Just curious, My Dell Inspiron 6400 never came with any recovery media, yet I see a hidden partition named OEM thats about 65GB in size. How do I access it?

thats rather large for a recovery partition
they are usually hidden and can only be viewed through the disk management tool
and nowadays you are expected to burn your own recoverymedia using the data in these partitions, it usually asks you to when first booting windows. otherwise you may see a dell program to do with system recoveries installed where you can burn one?Back by no demand whatsoever.0 -
