The recovery partition does not contain a disk image of the factory
installation. It contains the programs and data to recreate the factory
image and will provide you with some options concerning bloatware etc as it
builds a new image.
You need to follow the instructions that came with the computer on how to
use the recovery partition on your computer to restore your laptop.

But that wont help since the user moved the image to an external drive, and
probably removed the image partition
The Dell recovery process will be looking for the data on the removed
partition

I misunderstood I thought he said he copied it. If he moved it then he
probably needs to move it back so that it will work as designed.

The function key routine is hard coded to use D:. You cannot "redirect" the
hardware to use any other partition for the recovery. If you want to use a
different source for the recovery you need to use the backup program for the
restoration.

I am intrested to use diffrent source for the recovery,so which type
of backup up programme will be better for me to restore the
system,keeping in view the recovery partition on the external drive.

In case of any damage to recovery D if i restored the recovery to Drive
D from external hard drive by backup and restore programme, will F8
works as normal as earlier for restoration
