how to reinstall OS from inactive recovery partition?

[mixen]

Hello, I have a headache since I bought hp touchsmart iq522sc a desktop computer. The problem started when I trying to change this computer's OS language because it was only one left demo computer. Accidently, I formatted C driver which is os installed partition in it. So i installed cracked(not genuine) os desperately. Then i tried to reinstall from factory image driver(recovery driver) but it does not work untill now. I tried to solve it many ways like, hit f11 when it boot, mark recovery partition "as active" from disk management etc. Nothing work for it. As I know the recovery partition exists and shows it has 4 gb file on it.
Is there any ways to reinstall from recovery partition?

if you have a OS disk you should be able to do a "Full recover". Then you just point to the recovery partition to use it as base for the recovery
