No, it does not come with a restore disc. Doesn't come with any discs. I bought both the black and the pink models. Black is just what you would expect and the pink, if you are female, is beautiful.

No disc was included. If reinstallation is necessary you would have to download it.

It does not include a recovery disk. There is a recovery partition on the hard drive. You can make your own recovery disk with an included program.

The restore disk, if a separate DVD with the software on it, yes. On the other hand, these sometimes come with an installation in place already on the HDD, and you would have to make a clone of the drive to do the install on a new HDD. The last option is to do your setup on the drive that comes with the PC, and THEN clone the drive to a new (larger) drive. This is all legal and above board as long as you don't use the OS in another PC.There are several products available for cloning a HDD. Some of them are even free for this purpose...

It comes with backup utility, but you'll need to supply your own CD\DVD drive. AFAIK it does not include an actual backup partition. Mine is currently unplugged, while I play with an alternative, but I seem to remember this being an issue.Now that I plugged it back in there is a backup partition on the drive. You can access it by hitting <alt> F10 during bootup.

Mine came in a plain brown box with paperwork but no discs. A factory system restore partition was pre-loaded on the hard drive. I burned a set of rescue restore DVDs for it with no problem. It was a refurb (through Amazon from Secondipity.com, I believe) and has been flawless thus far. Very fast machine.

Yes it does. However, it doesn't always come with operating system as advertised. Be certain that it is loaded or that a disc comes with.

NO. I bought mine from BEST BUY. They charged me an additional one hundred dollars for a four piece Windows recovery set.

Of course you have to do the whole thing. You would need the restore/ setup CD from PC Mfr.

no, I did install one, but hardly use it. There are some CD/DVD/BR that do not image correctly to the hard disk, but copy ok when duplicated from one drive to the other (like MS windows)

Hey Rob,The Dell desktop does come with a restore disk. And that's a big 'Thank God'. Although I bought this pc as a birthday gift for my brother, I also have Windows xp. I am not, computer, savvy enough to advance to Windows 8. And now if something happens with my pc, I just can borrow the restore disk and be up and running again like nothing ever happened. Thanks, Rick

Neither. It does, however, allow you to make one image recovery disc in case the windows stops working properly. Go to settings->backup->and choose one from those options

Yes it does. You make the discs yourself, the computer guides you. As well as other recovery options.
