where to get DataSafe Local Basic software?

Help! I just bought a Dell Inspiron 15R (64 bit) a couple of days ago and in the course of setting it up, I inadvertantly erased? the DataSafe software that presumably came installed on it. (I know, I *should* have read the setup guide and created the recovery disc immediately...) I figured I could get it back by using F8 and the recovery partition but the DataSafe program does not show up under all programs. So now I have no way to create my recovery disc.

So where may I find the download for this software? I've searched around the support site and forum but cannot find it.

I'm reluctant to get it through the link in the Dell Support 3.0 software (on the driver/software download site for my model) because I think that's how I destroyed the original copy. I hadn't realized DataSafe was already installed (you guys should create a destop link for it so it's obvious or copy HPs method and nag at you until you create the recovery disc) and tried to install the downloaded version I got via the Support software. The installation failed with an error message of "RPSetup Error 1". A forum search (and reading the Setup Guide) told me it came preinstalled. However, my aborted installation attempt must have destroyed that copy because it was no longer in the All programs list. That's when I decided to do the recovery - but it's still not in the list.
