[QUOTE="kkingnia, post: 1422644, member: 261027"] Apple has changed this. The Macbook Pro I got new in December did not come with any recovery disks. Everything you need is on the hard drive or maybe online. If you got your Mac new less than 365 days ago you may find that AppleCare or an Apple Store Genius will answer your questions. (And you should seriously consider buying AppleCare for help with software as well as hardware problems. (I did and found it always pays when you have a notebook computer.)) I also strongly advise you to get an external hard drive and SuperDuper! to make a clone copy of your hard drive. (A bare drive and an enclosure, if you are handy and want to try to save money.) And I suggest you should go online and find the instructions for making a flash drive with a copy of the Lion installer you download from Mac App Store. It takes a long time to download and runs faster from a flash drive than from a DVD. [/QUOTE]
