Is this the way it's done now or should I find out why I didn't get one with my laptop. I realised this when installing some software and it said I may be asked to put in my windows cd.

Yup they are.... one problem with that idea tho. Turn PC on for 1st time, and it dies straight away - what do you do ? :waughh:	xpd (11702)
