no they don't. there is a recovery partition though. and you can also call the acer hotline and request a recovery CD or USB Stick.

if you have the bootable installation disk or USB, there'll be a prompt that will ask you: install the OS, restore from Time machine or enter Disk utility. Good luck!

You can read them on a Linux box or any PC booted with rescue Linux cd. There are guides on how to do this. or buy used on ebay for $60 (that's what I did) or send your drives to someone who has similar hp unit

Maybe you can download the drivers online, not sure you might need that disc or perhaps is there a way of copying the disc content onto a runable application on a hard drive.

I ordered it so I would have the disk. I think you can purchase the download from the web if you do not want to have the disk.

Yes you can, as long as they are compatible with the operating system on the machine. If it is a Windows system you can check the compatibility at the Windows web site.

So long as the computer can recognize the drive, you should be able to format it. If the drive is dead even this device won't help you.

I ordered mine installed with Windows 7 ("downgrade" option). It came with disks for both operating systems and (I think) disks for recovering both operating systems.

Unfortunately you get neither. A set of Recovery Disks can be made after you install the OS however the program will only let you make 1 set of recovery disks. If those disks ever get scratched or for whatever reason don't get created properly, you're screwed because you won't be able to make another set. You can get a set of recovery disks from Lenovo but guess what? A set of recovery disks (they call them RCDs = ReCovery Disks) will cost you $50.00. If they tell you that you must pay for the disks you should request to speak with a supervisor. Be polite but firm and chances are the supervisor will process an order for you and send them to you at no charge or at least that's what they did for me. Unfortunately you get neither.

It does not include a recovery disk. There is a recovery partition on the hard drive. You can make your own recovery disk with an included program.

I put Ubuntu on it, but I think it came with SP3. Not sure about the recovery disk.
