You can read the directions for use in the Users manual on page A 15 in the Appendix.

it starts off with this introduction on the Recovery partition

[i]Windows Vista Software Recovery
Using Hard Disk Partition
The Recovery Partition includes an image of the operating system, drivers, and utilities installed on your Notebook PC at the factory. The Recovery Partition provides a comprehensive recovery solution that quickly restores your Notebook PC?s software to its original working state, provided that your hard disk drive is in good working order. Before using the Recovery Partition, copy your data files (such as Outlook PST files) to floppy disks or to a network drive and make note of any customized configuration settings (such as network settings).[/i]

If you do not have your Users Manual you can download it from here

If you want to you can buy a Recovery DVD from ASUS which generally has a minimal cost which covers Postage and Handling but as that is a matter with ASUS you need to take it up with them directly. ;)

i know it has a secret partition, but as i'm not the only user in this laptop (for past experiences i know people can "accidentally whipe the partition or erase them or something like that)
that's why i want to create the recovery cds in case anything happens

You can use either the Recovery partition or a DVD.

So if you don't have a ASUS DVD you apparently can not make one and need to contact ASUS to buy a Set. Actually this is always a better option as it gives you a Manufactured Copy of the Recovery Set and not a Burnt Copy which has a short life. The Manufactured Set will outlast any Burnt Set and not need to be reburnt on a semi regular basis. ;)
