There should be something in your start menu to make the CDs I guess.

There is something that says "backup and restore centre" would that be it?

Probably worth a look, sometimes there is no need to make the CDs as the software is stored on a separate drive/partition.

Yes that will be it, HP have the same system, you need to create the back up disc in case you get an HDD (hard drive disc) failure so you are therefore unable to use the recovery partition, the disc can be used to restore your Laptop to factory settings once a new HDD is installed.

On an HP it takes 7 CDr's or 1 DVD+R
