Press the blue thinkpad button while pre-boot, and restore from the hidden restore partition. No cd's to fiddle with at all. On the negative side, it does eat up 5 gigs of your precious hard drive space. But for someone that's not very tech savvy, it's a lot easier and they won't notice the drop in space anyway.
