I would get a hold of the manufacturer or the store that you purchased it from.Especially if it is under warranty - which most laptops and computers are under manufacturer warranty for 1 yr from purchase date.

If you have access to another computer, go to your laptops manufacturers website and the support/downloads section, you should be able to download the recovery disk software from there, alternatively most modern laptops i.e windows xp allow you to make a recovery disk at any time from the control panel.
