You can download and burn an ISO from Micrsoft, you just need your license key.

Recovery partition?

When you turn it on, does it say anything about doing a restore if you press F10 etc

It'll normally have annoying pop ups to say you can create your own recovery disc.

Failing that as said the above. You can even buy discs from PC World etc which don't have a license key. About £15 iirc.

Recovery partitions suck, it'll put all the nasty bloat-ware back on that laptops come with. Can't beat a nice fresh install

Download the ISO, use the key on the sticker, job done.

did it absolutely positively not come with a disc? they sometimes send them out with really boring plain discs that say what they are in small letters

not a nice shiny hologram affair!
