+1 DVD-R. Unless you're getting XP, a CD would be too small. Win 7 Enterprise is 2.7 GB. The instructions that come with the laptop should cover how to boot to the recovery partition and use it to reload your OS. It generally involves pressing a function key right after the start-up routine and before the OS label appears. You may not necessarily need a disk but it's a good backup should you lose the entire drive.
