How to make a Bootable CD/DVD(set) from a recovery Partition
-
Is there any way to do this? I know you can snapshot the files over, but is there anyway to make it bootable and start its installation procedures?

Probably not without access to the tool that was used to create the partition in the first place.

It pretty simple, it is a bare min. bootable XP partition, with a secondary executable that does the recovery work. I can't use F10 to boot into the recovery console, but I can run the secondary executable fine with a BartPE disk I am not afraid of a little nitty Grity work, and the entire partition could fit on a single DVD, I just don't know how to get the Bootloader Code to form a bootable iso image. Any clue there?

Well, in that case, you'll have to master your own WinPE disk (like BartPE) and include the secondary image. HOWEVER, there is one caveat: If the recovery tool recovers not only the system partition, but the partition table as well, you'll lose any data stored in the former "recovery partition" and more so if you repartitioned the disk. If I was you, I'd backup my data, do one "recovery", then use Norton Ghost to image the freshly installed system and thus create your own "recovery media". Everything else seems to much of a hassle...
