    Mark, his name is. Not sure what part of the store he works in, though :D
    Squirrel!
    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

    This seems to be a worrying trend. They offer you the option to "purchase" recovery discs if wanted. However, most new PC's have the drives formatted so there is a partition that holds all the recovery software to return it to a new purchase state.

    Thanks,although we weren't even able to get that far as the PC failed on first start up.
    It was a store I would never buy anything from going by my dads experience with them over a TV that went back over 4 times for repairs & always came back faulty.It was a chain of stores,sort of a Curry's wannabe,that's now gone bust.
