Accidentally Deleted Recovery Partition

I installed Ubuntu from a thumb drive the other day on my Acer One. After realizing that there are not Ubuntu drivers for the on board video card, I decided to scrap that install. During the processes of uninstalling Linux, I accidentally deleted both my Vista install and my recovery partition. I thought I had only deleted my recovery partition, but when I tried to fix my mbr, no windows install showed.

Anyhow, what options do I have with no cd rom drive? Is there a way to restore the recovery partition? Can I create one on a thumb drive from my existing XP or Vista CDs?

Also if you have a desktop with SATA interface, it fast and easy to remove the 751's HDD and do what you need with it on the desktop before you put it back in. I did this to clone my original HDD before I started messing with anything.
