Dave: I bought an IBM Thinkpad several years ago. Unfortunately, I wiped the drive clean and installed my MSDN copy of Windows XP (free). By taking this action, I wiped out the IBM hidden partition with their software on it.
So, IBM informed me their license agreement with various software vendors precluded them from providing me with a DVD (or CD) of the various software products advertised that came with the computer. I therefore had to go out and buy everything I needed (so much for the new Chinese Lenovo brand). I bought "1 Click DVD Copy" and it came with CopyToDVD, which works fairly well. I also had to buy WinDVD to play movies. Oh well, I think I'll buy a MacBook Pro next time. :-) My Dell desktop here in the office has an old copy of "Roxio CD Creator 5" on it. It works fine too.
