[ale] Windows restore partitions

[j at intte.com (john anderson)]

Awhile back I installed Ubuntu as a dual boot on a windows box. I ran 
into an issue where the 'restore partition' for windows showed up in the 
boot loader selections as a boot choice. The problem is that this makes 
it a little too easy to wipe and reset the the windows partition.

Now, admittedly its the windows partition we are talking about, but I 
would like to avoid this as a potential problem when I talk people into 
trying Linux.

I am planning on installing Ubuntu 9.04 on my niece's computer but I am 
afraid that a poor keystroke by her or her little brother could cause 
havoc. I figure I could maybe comment out that line in the grub file. 
Would this solve the issue and how would you then run the restore 
partition when you actually wanted to. (Or rather how would I explain 
this over the phone.)
