UNSOLVED
I realise this is an old post, but my elderly neighbour has just deleted the XP recovery partition and I said I’d get it back for him. It is now 3.2GB of Unallocated Space. I tried EaseUs but it couldn’t find the partition.
Since you posted, did you find a way to recover the partition?
Thank you.

XP reaches End of Life in April and hence should not continue to be used. See:
- End of Life – April 2014 (Microsoft)
- White Paper Mitigating Risk: Why Sticking with Windows XP is a Bad Idea. (IDC Analyze the Future)
Its time to upgrade to Windows 7 or 8.1:

Use the following drivers for Windows 7 64 Bit:
Note Windows 8.1 64 Bit may reject the processor on this system but Windows 8.1 32 Bit should work.

No the recovery partition is uninque to your system and once it is gone it cannot be restored
