    I'm not sure if this has been asked before but if I configure the NP8660 with the XP OS at powernotebooks.com, will it come with the re-install disks or is it just installed on the hard drive with no recovery cds? If it does come with the cds, is it the OEM (sticker that you put on the machine) version?

    The vista versions say that the 64 bit and 32 bit cds are included.

    Thanks for any info on this.

    Thanks for the quick reply. Right before I put in the order, I'll re-confirm with the sales rep.

    sager is one of the few companies who are willing to provide OS disk nowadays.
    OT: still can't believe i didn't get one from IBM after i paid $3500 back to the day.
