tnx. The recovery DVDs are for recovering the OS, not the recovery partition.
But since you have the DVDs, why do you want the partition. Many people delete the partition after they burnt the DVDs.
If you want extra protection, make images - highly recommended. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

The main advantage of keeping the recovery partition is that using it to recover your system to it's out-of-box state (which you might want to do if ever you sold the computer) is a lot quicker than using your recovery discs.
As WHS says though, it becomes academic if you create a complete system image for recovery purposes. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion Elite 495UK OS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-Bit CPU Intel Core i7 870 @ 2.93GHz Motherboard MSI 2A9C (CPU1) Memory 8Gb Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 664MHz Graphics Card nVidia GeForce GTX 460 1024MB dedicated RAM Sound Card Realtek HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays HP2310i Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Logitech K750 solar-powered keyboard Mouse Logitech Wireless M180 mouse PSU 460W Case HP Elite Cooling Air cooled Hard Drives 1x1954GB Hitachi HDS22020ALA 330 (RAID), 1x1954GB Hitachi External for backup and storage Internet Speed 2Mb Other Info Pure Avanti Flow Internet Radio with iPod Dock, 64Gb iPod, HP USB Speakers, Sony MDR-V500 Headphones, Sony Vaio F-Series Laptop |

As a literal reply to your question, you can but only if you have the tools (OPK) that MS makes available only to OEMs and system builders. Its a long and reasonably complicated procedure and it makes sense only for the said parties because they need to sell Windows 7 configured in a particular way. get over this recovery partition fetish- its the way HP or Dell or Lenovo thinks your OS should look like, not the way YOU want. Tweak and setup things the way you want, then create an image using Macrium or Acronis or whatever and you're set. BTW, Acronis creates this "secure zone"- a special, hidden partition on the hard disk for storing the image, very much like an OEM recovery partition. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Too many to describe...

If you have the Dell Recovery image DVD's, YES you can, but all added data will be lost.
or
If you have Dell install DVD, NO. | My System Specs | | |
