651221 2008-03-21 03:14:00 Did you know that when you bought it?

If not, DSE should provide them or give you another PC.

If so, well why the hell would you buy something thats already crapped out once? Shows what you can expect in the near future.

For recovery you still have a couple of options. Use the recovery partition that is undoubtedly on the machine or take an image dump of the C: drive. You can even do the latter free with DrivieImage XL.
