Does this unit comes with a disk for install, and recover media?

Manny, Thank you for the question. Our systems will ship with the Windows 7 recovery disk. It will recovery the operating system only. You might be required to download driver software from HP. We include a new Windows 7 disk with proper COA sticker and product key, not a factory HP recovery disk. Thank you, Jason

No it does not. I had to use my recovery discs from the hard drive I was replacing.

It included an OS installation CD, not specifically a recovery disk. It would be able to fulfill this purpose though.

No, that is a hitch. It comes without an operating system. If you can get your hands on W7 / W8 disc then you just get an external DVD drive, install for me was a breeze.

I ordered mine installed with Windows 7 ("downgrade" option). It came with disks for both operating systems and (I think) disks for recovering both operating systems.

It's installed but no disk. You need to create a recovery drive on a flash drive of at least 16 gigs which I bought for less than $10. It took about 2 hours, but no big deal.

It does not include a recovery disk. There is a recovery partition on the hard drive. You can make your own recovery disk with an included program.

sorry for the late reply. the operating system is installed on the solid state drive but the system doesn't come with an install disk.

Does this Notebook include a restoration CD/DVD that can be placed into an external drive to reload from starting condition should the hard drive fial or software become corrupted???

It's definitely OEM with no media. There is a recovery partition which contains everything you need should you need to rebuild, etc...and as a side note, the drive is partitioned C: and D: by default. I was able to delete D: and extend C:, since I prefer one contiguous space...cheers

It (AOD150-1165) did not come with Recovery Disk but it can generate the recovery CDs (or DVDs) for you using the installed utility.You will need a USB attached CD/DVD writer and some recordable media (6 CD-Rs for System Recovery + 2 for Apps and Drivers, OR alternatively 2 DVD-R for Recovery + 1 DVD-R for Apps and Drivers)

Sure. it just a HDD with some free software from WD. No need to install this software or keep it on a HDD ;)

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.

That is a disk that you install, I'm sure if you look you can find a product key to purchase for an immediate download. Hope this helps.

Yes--but you will need to use Disk Utility to reformat it. Takes just a couple of minutes.
