I would like to copy my netbook recovery parition to a bootable external HDD because two of my partitions were damaged including the partition which contained the Master Boot Record.
I wasn't able to repair the mbr but I needed the machine so I installed a Win 8 on it but now I want to reinstall the factory win 7 which is on the offline recovery partition but I don't know how can I copy it to a bootable drive.

You could use clonezilla, it's a live-Linux for cloning partitions and drives. It its possible to clone a partition directly from one device (netbook HDD) to another device (external HDD).
