I was working on the Disk Management window and saw there were 2 Recovery partitions like the image below with no name.
One was 700MB and the other was 500MB. I could not perform any actions to both of them.
After doing what I was doing in the disk management using a 3rd party tool, I found that the 700MB one partition now had the option to delete the volume and it was shown only under Disk 0 not where all the partitions of all the disks are listed.
I have 2 questions, do I need the other recovery partition, since I had 2 and 1 of them is gone.
If I do, how can I get that?

These are not the Recovery partitions that HP creates; instead, these are created by Windows during installation or upgrade. So, the HP tools are not going to be able to use these at all.
Also, you can not get one back, once it is gone, as there is no tool to create such partitions.
