and if your windows is broken ( as will probably be the case when you want/need to reformat) how will you be able to do it as you won't be able to get to run it?

well that happened not long back and i was given a tel no to ring the techie guys who talked me through it all and if that had failedf they would have taken it in but like already said on here it was still under garuntee then so future may prove to be costly .

Tell that to HP! As I said I am not a particularly happy bunny about this but it never occurred to me to ask if there was a recovery disc before I bought the thing. I did ask everything I could think of asking and some of the questions got very vague answers from the sales staff who obviously didn't know what I was talking about. eg:

Me: And what about the grsaphics card?
Them: I think it's got one, oh yes there's a sticker on it says 'NVIDIA'

So NVidia only make graphics cards do they

Muppets, I feel sorry for all the people who have to trust these people with their money.

I wouldn't mind but its not like a blank DVD costs the earth now is it.

The lack of knowledge of their products by the sales staff really irritates me.

hi i have hp desktop - is yours vista -? do you know where your welcome center is ? you have an option on there to make recovery disks-then you choose that option a a simple wizard will take you the rest of the way - all you need is a few disks - or one with large capacity memory on it and bob is indeed your uncle- if you dont do it - you will wish you had at some point in the furture. pm me if you want any durther info as having the same make may help ?!?

Mine's the same (though not an HP) as keetah992000's. Start - Programs - PC Help & Tools - Recovery CD-DVD Creator. They're just cost-cutting and making you produce your own recovery CD (or CDs in my case) rather than providing you with a ready-made one.
