new computer & no recovery disc, does it matter?

crispeater

i purchased a acer aspire pc from dabs.com and it doesnt appear to of come with a recovery disc. when i set it up and switched it on everything was already on the pc.

does it matter that i have no recovery disc? i have one from my laptop would i be able to use that if there was a problem?

yes it does matter you must make your own recovery discs look in the menu
for a "create recovery media" program or read your instruction manuels

Hi

I've just bought an Acer laptop too, and during the initial set up (too ages as it did loads of upgrading and things!!) I was asked to create a back up cd, which I was told took 7cd's or 2 dvd's. I guess there must be an option somewhere to do this now??

Acer do provide an option to burn an operating system cd, you should be able to see it somewhere in the program list.
