    AS the title suggests,

    Is there a way to install a fresh copy of XP but keep the R&R hidden partition and make the R&R active (get blue button functional) after the fresh install?

    Ultimately, what I'd love to do is to create a R&R based on a stock XP install (nlite-d to my liking, removing many windows components that aren't necessary), and replace the Lenovo R&R ...

    Not sure if that's possible at all...

    Cheers!
