You should be able to contact Samsung and order the recovery DVD to restore the laptop, perhaps even the recovery partition.

No, nothing will restore the recovery partition to a state where it can be used as intended to restore the computer. Not only have you lost the data but the partition table has been changed. Perhaps, with a lot of effort and some luck, you could use a partition editor like GPartD (Gnome Partition Editor) or similar to fix the links but it's not an easy thing to do and takes a fair bit of knowledge about the structure of the boot sector and partition table and such.

Best just to wait for the recovery DVD. Once you have it, I would strongly recommend setting up a good backup strategy so you can make an image backup of the recovery partition as well as the boot partition. A second internal hard drive or a good sized external hard drive and the built in backup tool or software like Acronis True Image would be the best way to go.
