I am online with HP right now trying to get my recovery discs. Something that should be free by just burning them off of my laptop. But there is a problem that will not allow me to burn them. NOW they are telling me I have to pay for it. I am like WTF something that should be free I now have to pay for? It is bad enough that they ask me to hold on a minute and it is like 5 minutes later I am still waiting for them. Just for him to tell me he does not have the right to send them to me. So I was like OK so put somebody on that does have the right. Then he wanted me to wast more of my time by calling them. GRRRRRR

I started to advise you to do a system restore, it works most of the time!

Nothing is wrong with my laptop. I would just like to have my recovery discs available cause system restore is not always the answer.

Don't buy a laptop. No, he/she cannot send you a recovery disk unless you are still under warranty. The recovery disks do include operating software and everything else in between. It costs money, and it's not coming from their pockets.
