That recovery partion is instead of an install cd/dvd for windows. I have 2 
systems like that myself. If you moved it, it prob will void the warranty. 
Don't quote me on that tho. You may also find you now can't boot the windows 
recovery partition. I believe you can ask HP to send out the install disk for 
your system. I for one have never been happy with the recovery partion to fix 
the system. Aint no good if the hdd packs it in and then you're up not only 
for a new hdd but a new copy of windows :(

Anyways. Can you now boot both windows and ubuntu?
