Laptops, OS disks and recovery partitions.
I've been considering the purchase of a laptop for the last few weeks but I'm worried about the apparently universal habit of manufacturers not including a system disk.

So, if you'll indulge me, a few questions....

(1) Do any manufacturers provide an OS disk with their laptops?

(2) Is it possible to burn a CD/DVD from the recovery partition and produce your own disk?

(3) What on Earth is the point of putting the recovery files on the HDD when they are lost in the event of a HDD failure? A cost cutting measure?

I've done the requisite amount of Googling but, as ever, opinion seems divided.

Thanks,

N o t a
