    I'm going to be receiving my X220 later this week and plan on making a backup of the recovery partition on a USB flash drive since I don't have an external DVD burner. I'm just wondering if anyone knows how big it is roughly so I can see how big a drive I may need to get. I could wait until I get my X220 but there's a sale I may want to take advantage that ends tomorrow.

    If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks.

    If you are referring to System Restore partition on a Windows machine, it is roughly 100MB.
