Hi We had the same thing with some of our imaged Apple laptops that came direct from Apple via CEOWA. There is a hidden partition (It shouldn't need to be that large) that is bootable into NetRestore and will restore the computer off a disk image (dmg) as it came out of the box for you including all the software included with it.

Rather than relying on people to make a recovery disk. Maybe the techs have done that on the Mac machine in this case.
