I need to wipe my Philips x51 laptop and reinstall from scratch. The lovely people at Philips, however, didn't include recovery disks - you have to make your own from a pre-installed package. I did this (which you can only do once!) and stored the disks safely, but it turned out that when I came to need them Disk 1 was damaged and is unusable. Disks 2 & 3 are fine.

To buy a new copy will cost me 35 pounds plus posting to Japan (where I now live) Any out there with the relevant disk (just disk 1) willing to upload it for me? Or does anyone know about where i can get hold of it? Otherwise I'll bite the bullet & pay.

Thanks!

Recovery disks normally do not include the Operating System itself. They just put the system back to a working status (usually the point at when the disk was made) in the event of major failure.

If you have already wiped the disk clean and don't have an install disk, you may be looking at buying the Operating System disk because you will need an activation key to activate windows with Microsoft.
