smokin Recovery Partician

I was wondering if I could create a recovery partician just like the ones in new store bought computers, is this possible to do?
I would like to dedicate a portion of my HDD to completley restore my computer to the way it was built originally in other words a HDD in windows 7 64 bit, with a snapshot of the system on it.

Food for thought - put the snap shot/cloned image on another drive in case your main drive dies

It'd be interesting to see if somebody knows how to do what most major manufacturers do. That being said, based on the number of machines with fubar’d recovery partitions I don't really see the point.

As Difficult Stevy () pointed out: this recovery partition won't save you if the HDD goes.
