Users are suppose to make the Disks after the open the new computer. I have seen sites that sell Recovey Software. If it is not for the Exact Make and Model it probably won't work, so it will be a bit of a Gamble unless you can but them directly from the Manufacture. :) [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: recovery disc from online sources Tuesday, February 26, 2008 at 2:12 pm Posted by Steve (19681 messages posted) I took a closer look at the link I posted, and HP has info on ordering the CDs most the World [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: recovery disc from online sources Tuesday, February 26, 2008 at 3:21 pm Posted by Abram (372 messages posted) The company I work for uses HP for almost anything Wintel related and we've never had problems buying a recovery disc if needed.
