Hello again cammy.

You are saying that you lost the recovery manager to install the system recovery, and now that it is gone, cannot install another recovery manager? I don't believe there is a way to get it back, as I am sure that is one of those things that come pre-installed on a computer. If interested, you might look into purchasing software that does this sort of thing for you.


Some of these tutorials may come in handy for you, take a look:

Did you say your Windows 7 starter came with any DVDs, and if so, what is it called exactly (what does it say on the CD)?

Unfortuanately, I am not aware of any method of making this possible.

I recommend following "Seavixen's" suggestions
