THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME I BUY A DELL SYSTEM. I WAS APPALLED TO LEARN THAT DELL DOES NOT PROVIDE A SYSTEM RESTORE CD, AT EVEN A COST TO ITS CUSTOMERS! IF A RECOVERY PARTITION IS CORRUPT, THE CUSTOMER HAS TO MANUALLY INSTALL WINDOWS, AND ALL RELATED DRIVERS, SOFTWARE! I HAVE PURCHASED COMPAQ / HP COMPUTERS IN THE PAST! WHEN REQUESTED, YOU CAN ORDER RECOVERY CDs WHICH RESTORE THE COMPUTER TO ORIGINAL OUT OF BOX CONFIGURATION. I WILL ALSO BE LETTING PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOUR COMPANIES DECISION TO NOT PROVIDE ITS USERS WITH A ALTERNATIVE TO GET THEIR SYSTEM TO ORIGINAL CONFIGURATION! THIS IS THE FIRST SYSTEM I HAVE EVER OWNED, THAT THE USER HAD TO MANUALLY INSTALL WINDOWS/DRIVERS, IF THE RESTORE PARTITION IS CORRUPT. YOU HAVE LOST A LOYAL CUSTOMER, ALONG WITH OTHERS I INFORM OF THIS POOR SERVICE!
