If the company provided the recover disk(s) then they would be packed with the machine. What I call a recover system is a special partition containing the image of the drive, perhaps compressed. The first place to look for that is in the manual. There should be instructions for recovering after a disaster [although they would not use that term.] On the machine at least two machines had a startup message reminding me to create backup disks and where to go to do this. My latest computer a Gateway, doesn't have a separate partition, instead they have several folders on the C partition. The reinstall program on that machine actually turned up missing. So I dug into these programs and managed to create install programs for each bundled application. And strangely enough they supplies a reinstall disk but it does not reinstall much besides the OS. After setting up these install programs I copied them all to my external drive and burned them to a DVD. I need to contact Gateway about getting that install program. But you know how much of a problem it is to get very specific stuff from a computer company. Did I answer your question? Look for anything with the computer brand name on it.
