Thanks for the help, the system is brand new, but the dell recovery CD utility does not appear where it is supposed to. I know I have to use this to create the CD but it is nowhere to be found!

If you call Dell Customer Care and tell them you want a Recovery CD, they will send you one at no charge. I called on Wed, and I got mine today.
