    Hi,

    I´ve tried to look at threads here so sorry if this is answered already. I´ve just ordered a Studio 15 laptop, now I´ve read that you can restore vista from an image located on a second partition on the laptop.

    However my question do you also get a Vista DVD? If not is it possible to request one?

    I´ve seen a page on www.dell.com for US users so I guess they can do this but I haven´t read anywhere if it is possible to do this for people who bought this in Europe.

    One last question, if you restore Vista from recovery image will it also restore the bloatware installed by dell?

    thanks,

    They do ship a driver + vista dvd unlike they did with my 3yearold inspiron. When the backup image on my inspiron got corrupted, I asked on dell chat to ship those disks to me, which they did without nagging.

    When you recover your studio with the recovery image supllied on it, you will have it in the state you recieved it.. with bloatware that is

    If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask
