By default - they are usually hidden from view until required.

Most are invoked by a particular key combination IMMEDIATELY after power-on. Try [b]Alt+F9[/b] or [b]Alt+F10[/b].

If there is no recovery partition and no recovery disc, your Supplier should either supply you with one for free or for a nominal fee.

You cannot download a recovery disc since it would have to be specifically designed for your particular PC.

there is no other partitions and lenova offers a disc for $50 and they have downloadable one for vista and 7 that work fine i figured there be one for xp

or what about the winnt32.exe in the i386 folder heard that works

IBM used to include a utility to create the recovery disks. I thought Lenovo was continuning that. Have you looked for such a utility?
