Recovery disc for Asus 1215N Is there any recovery discs for this netbook? I'm reading statements to the effect that Asus doesn't provide a way to reload a crashed Windows?

No recovery disks comes with this netbook. However, you can recover original content by hitting F9.

If you havent already seen it, look at "ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1215N-PU17-BK recovery disc" above.

The machine comes preloaded with Windows 7 Professional 64bit already. You're good to go. The supplied recovery media is for Windows 8, however. Re-installing Windows 7 will be difficult. I'd recommend preforming a complete system backup to an external harddrive as soon as you get the machine.

It does not provide you recovery DVD but I managed to do it within 3 hours. If you are going to add Samsung SSD, it will be very easy as I did since it gives you migration CD. So all you need to do it, insert their CD that comes with SSD, install the wizard, and migrate all of data from your HDD to SSD, which takes about 10~20 minutes. Then, all I did was resetting (quick format from Windows 8.1) the laptop, and my laptop flies now. If you are going to use other SSD, check http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?37714-G750JW-adding-a-SSD , or google "asus rog SSD installation" and there are plenty of threads available to assist you. Since it pasts a week so you might have done it already, but hope this helped you and enjoy your laptop!

Hey, I have a Asus 1015PED and I have done some research and this will work. Have I acctually installed it, no. It is on it's way to me though and I will keep you up to date.The info on the Asus Netbook is DDR3, so, it will work. But there is only one slot, so we'll have to remove to 1gig in there now, and replace it with this 2gig.I will let you know when I get mine to confirm it works, but with all the research I've done, I am 100% sure it will work. I wouldn't have bought the netbook or the memory if I was even 1% unsure.Hope that helps.

Have no clue. Would NEVER purchase this product or anything from this seller again. Item was for a friend who has a Netbook, running Windows XP. Item would not run at all, NO customer svc from Manufacturer. Seller just told me to download the driver from Windows, (which never worked). Returned item. Item was advertised as being compatible with Windows XP, which means it should not have needed any updated drivers, or if there was a newer one, Netbook/XP would get an automatic update as soon as item was hooked up to Netbook (plug & play). But I have had bad experiences with Acer products, too. Would never buy anything of theirs again, either. Sorry I couldn't help you. Have no clue.

Ronald,Thanks for your interest in GoGet Computers!Unfortunately, Microsoft has changed its policy and does not supply us with extra Windows 7 reboot discs, so unfortunately we can no longer distribute them to our customers. However, we create a partition on our computers that allows you to select the option to perform a system restore from the start up screen. I hope this answered your question.

We were very happy with the purchase, but I Honestly wish I could help. The tech that did the install is no longer with my company so I am not sure if this came with a recovery disk. Good luck.

Does anyone worry about buying netbooks and this computer and Microsoft ending support for XP like they eventually did for Windows 98 ? I would want 2GB of RAM if I ever had to install Vista...

Here is what someone on newegg.com said about the drivers:"Other Thoughts: If your accustom to reinstalling windows, booting from a flash thumb drive is a bit more tricky then a CD. There's plenty of advice and step-by-steps out there. Acer made a hidden driver folder under the C:\ if you unhide all your folder view options and want to reinstall windows I recommend you backup that "Acer" driver directory, it contains the Sata hdd drivers which are really hard to find on the web since this is a new machine."

Thanks, Binx. I actually finally got through the tech line at Asus and they gave me the same advice which worked great. The emailed assistance I received was pretty much useless. Now, if I could only figure out how to make a recovery disc with a USB, I would be completely happy. The directions about hitting F9 during boot up don't work at all.

It included an OS installation CD, not specifically a recovery disk. It would be able to fulfill this purpose though.

Hi, you should be able to find the information needed at the FAQ or in the manuals of the Download section in this link-http://support.asus.com/knowledge.aspx?SLanguage=en&p;=11&s;=2&m;=RT-N16&os;=8&hashedi;d=WAa6AQFncrceRBEo

Hey! This product does not ship with restore discs on board, i know that sucks. Will suggest you to make them using vaio care asap.

It depends on which seller you buy it from. Mine did. Look at the items the seller lists that the PC comes with. A good seller will include a recovery disc with any PC.

it is not on this laptop....neither is there a CD drive...I am totally unhappy with this laptop, and the vendor I bought it from. I would advise to stay away from both.

yes it will come with a disk, but this thing is a piece of crap-- Netgear will not update their driver. If you are running windows 7 you have to pull it out of the usb port and replug it EVERYTIME you reboot or lose connection. They say they have a fix for windows 8 but reviews say it is not consistent. Go with the ASUS. no driver issues.
