    Hi I just bought this ASUS A53S two month ago, stupied as I'm I didn't burn any recovery disc after I had installed Windwos 7. After I had installed all the updates for Windows I started to delete pre-installed program from Asus. I recently read a theard here on notebookreview that explained all the problems I got after deleting some pre-installed programs.
    Now I wondering if there is any way for me to do a recovery when I didn't burn any recovery disc or can find the recovery partion?

    If you don't have access to the recovery partition, another option is to download a the same copy of windows 7 that came with your laptop and use the COA (Windows 7 Key on bottom of your laptop) to activate windows.

    That way you get a fresh copy of Windows without all of the Asus Bloat. Just make sure to download the drivers for your hardware before you reinstall.

    And you can get a copy of windows 7 from here.
