@UT - Thanks for the tip! I forget about e-bay since I seldom visit it. I'll check it out.

If you look in 'My Computer' there would be a D drive which may be labelled recovery, about 10 - 20 GB.
So, if it does have a backup, will the program walk me through doing it? Or do I copy the reinstallation program from the D drive onto a disc and then go ahead and reformat the C drive?
