Either you're really good at reading between the lines, or I'm missing something entirely here. Where did sjholt post that he did not purchase or create the recovery disks? I've reread the whole thread and haven't come across that.
Just really curious if I missed a post.
Only reason I could think of not just to reinstall Windows after replacing disk, after all, it is a simple task, unless you don't have a source to reinstall from... then it gets more complex and may include spending more money. It comes from someone saying, no way I am spending $20 to get the recovery disks when it will only cost me a few dollars to make my own, but then they never actually make them.
(and I have been in computer customer service for ~35 years and seen this so many times it makes me wonder why someone would buy a computer and not have a way to reinstall when (not if but when) the disk fails)
