GeekieNick101 said:Your welcome, usualy they dont include the restore disks with Dell systems since 2004, if you want them you have to pay. When I got mine it was only like 10 dollars or so thats cheap. But I dont even use the disks I didnt know how amazing there resotre works it takes like 8 mintues and its just like you turned it on for the first time. I know when the tech came to my house and put a new hard drive in I lost the ctrl + F11 feature and it took over an hour to restore it. First you have to install the O/S then you have to install all the drivers. So yeah I tihnk this is one good thing Dell did right

GeekieNick101 said:I think I read it somewhere or sometihng that another reason Dell does the Crl + F11 thing is becuase a lot of customers loose the resotre disks
