Well i am talking about a top of the line 2009 computer less than 30 days old and some how you have the o/s disk and not the system restore images ! so we are not on the same page here and i don't know when they started the no o/s disk policy. but you either got a old disk or you have downloaded a hacked version. I know for a fact they will not give me a o/s disk from HP restore disks only!. wich means a mirror image of the factory hard drive with all he other junk.
