One reason I don't buy factory built PC's. Restore partition means you've just lost a bunch of space on your HD, and like you say if the HD fails you're SOL. _________________________ Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!® twitter.com/SgtBaxter facebook.com/Bryan.Eckert

You can ask a neighbor if they have a disk (XP I'm assuming?) and restore it with that, just use your license number to activate. _________________________ Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!® twitter.com/SgtBaxter facebook.com/Bryan.Eckert
