jseidel - the new machines allow you to create your own dvd's.. And if the hard drive goes out you can get a replacement dvd from them for the cost of shipping...
Yea, I should know that, but I still think recovery discs should come with a new machine. Our first computer running Windows 95 was an NEC Ready and it came with recovery discs which I ended up using 3 times over the life of unit. Our second one was an HP Pav with Win 98 and it also came with recovery discs that, remarkably, I never had to use. We had that HP Pav for nine years! To to replace it we bought another HP and it went thru 2 hard drives in 4 years, and the recovery was on a partition on the failed drives. The second time I replaced it with a new Seagate Barracuda (HP installed WD drives) and upgraded it to Windows 7 from Vista. The quality we had with the HP Pav Windows 98 rig was not same with the replacement.
My present rig from Digital Storm came with the Windows 7 DVD. Most of the "boutique" builders provide the Windows DVD with their systems.
