We were very happy with the purchase, but I Honestly wish I could help. The tech that did the install is no longer with my company so I am not sure if this came with a recovery disk. Good luck.

I have not used it for that purpose, but it should. The whole point of the recovery disk is to return your Windows operating system to you. You may still have to repair problems after recovery, but you will have a fighting chance of avoiding a reinstallation of Windows and a subsequent loss of data. The recovery disk has saved me from disaster several times. Let us know how that works.

We include the original Dell Win 7 Pro 64 bit restore media for recovery or later installation. Thanks

Hi Wade, the system comes with the Windows disk for complete re-install if needed, otherwise Windows does have backup and recovery built in.

Mine did not. But overall, I am really pleased with the computer. The one I got also had the old A: floppy drive, which I'm glad it did.

Unfortunately you get neither. A set of Recovery Disks can be made after you install the OS however the program will only let you make 1 set of recovery disks. If those disks ever get scratched or for whatever reason don't get created properly, you're screwed because you won't be able to make another set. You can get a set of recovery disks from Lenovo but guess what? A set of recovery disks (they call them RCDs = ReCovery Disks) will cost you $50.00. If they tell you that you must pay for the disks you should request to speak with a supervisor. Be polite but firm and chances are the supervisor will process an order for you and send them to you at no charge or at least that's what they did for me.

No but you can boot from a standalone CD program and make a copy of a drive that has been freshly formatted.

Yes it does. However, it doesn't always come with operating system as advertised. Be certain that it is loaded or that a disc comes with.

Yes, the one I got on January 9 came with pre-installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, and it contained Windows 8 system recovery disks, which I suppose you would later use to upgrade to Windows 8.

Manufacturer's reply: "Now(a)days laptop does not come with recovery disks,as the recovery system is in built in the system". As recommended by the quick guide, I got a new (or empty) 16 GB USB memory stick and followed the procedure under "recovery backup". It took more than 1 hour to finish, then labeled the stick and put it safe.

Product key ships in the ship group. As for the recovery disk it carries the factory load image. If you want one without the bloatware then remove the bloatware and create your own recovery disk.
