Nope.....But we have bought a lot of stuff from Insight and have often
found (Mainly with HP kit) that they fail to include the recovery media.
So might be worth querying with them.

The partition is almost definitely a 'disk tattoo' which contains
information about the system for recovery but is usually accessed in
conjunction with a recovery disc. But perhaps it holds cabs as well. But
what would happen in a disc failure?

Info based on purchases of HP kit not IBM so may differ!

Many thanks
