    I just bought a new 1215n and there isn't a Windows disk included in the box. Is there supposed to be?

    Desktop and notebook computers sold by big companies (Asus, Dell, HP, Sony) haven't included Windows discs for years. Instead, they include a "recovery partition" on the hard drive that is used for reinstalling Windows back to its factory state. Most machines also have a piece of software that allows you to burn the partition data to a CD or DVD as well. I'm not sure about the 1215n, though, considering it has no optical drive.

    Thanks. I thought my previous Asus (1000HE) had come with one but I'm probably mistaken.
