Can I purchase system restore discs for this computer please? I cannot find the discs I made and need to do a complete restoral due to a bad virus.

I honestly have no idea. I would get with the manufacturer and give them your computer's serial number and ask for one. Sorry.

No restore disk. Once the computer is up and running it asks you to create a restore disk using a DVDR. So basically you have to create it once image desktop is up and running

The CD that comes with the package is a utility disc. Windows 7 OS does not come with restore CD but you can create your own through the utility software. Thank you

OK. Do these laptops ship with a DVD copy of Windows 7? Some proprietary programs I run are probably not compatible with the 64-bit version and therefore I would need to re-install Windows 7 using the 32-bit version.

From the few reviews I've seen, the 1410 "does not" come with a system restore DVD, but Vista does have the program that will allow you to create your own. Do that first, then install the Windows 7 RTM. When you're "free" Windows 7 upgrade DVD arrives you can try and install it, and if it doesn't work you can use the system restore DVD you created to reinstall Vista.

Mine came in a plain brown box with paperwork but no discs. A factory system restore partition was pre-loaded on the hard drive. I burned a set of rescue restore DVDs for it with no problem. It was a refurb (through Amazon from Secondipity.com, I believe) and has been flawless thus far. Very fast machine.

Mine did not come with a restore disk. A restore disk is used when you have to wipe your computer, either if you've received a virus, etc. and need to re-install the operating system.

No longer any disc available from their website, though I have not tried contacting support (December 2014). Does anyone have a download link by chance?

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.

No, Amazon wants the whole thing back. I was missing two disks. After making enough noise, Amazon offered to refund 20% of the price ($3?). Such a waste and not the best customer service.

It depends on which seller you buy it from. Mine did. Look at the items the seller lists that the PC comes with. A good seller will include a recovery disc with any PC.

Go to the OCZ website and download it. It's free whether or not you own their drive.I agree that it's always better to rebuild the system on a new drive if you know how to do that.

Sorry, no. It's rare nowadays for any supplier to provide installation media. They almost always do, however, create a small protected partition on the hard-drive which the operating system can use to restore the computer to it's "as-delivered" condition in the event of a "hard fault" failure to start. The best thing you can do yourself is create an image of your system on an external storage drive as it is when you are satisfied with it. That way you can restore it to the original drive, or to a newer/faster/bigger or solid state drive when you want better performance or more storage space.

I think I got mine from Official Amazon and I got all my disks and codes. Everything worked great. If you don't get everything you can call customer service and tell them what your missing and you can return it and they'll send you a new one!!

I have ordered additional discs and I would suspect you can order parts also by contacting the company directly. The address and phone number is in the book that came with your machine. If you cannot find it let me know and I will look it up for you when I get home and let you know.
