Hello Haverespect,There are few important things I would like to share:All the factory shipped software can be installed from My Dell Downloads. You can find the software such as Roxio, Webcam Central, Acrobat Reader etc.  Please click here to follow the detailed onscreen instructions.  My Dell Download works only on Internet Explorer. You may also refer the FAQs on My Dell Downloads. However Microsoft Office Starter once lost cannot be re-installed as Dell does not retain any copy of it.  Once the operating system is re-installed from the disks, it deletes all the partition and does a fresh installation of the operating system. Hence the recovery partition is lost and recovery partition is lost, one cannot get it back. Please write back for further questions. 
Hi Guys I hope I have posted in the right  forum A couple of days ago I recieved a nasyt variant of the police virus and as such I had to reinstall windows from scratch Regretably my recovery disks I made did not work properly so I had to fork out a lot of money for windows 7 and did a fresh install I 've put the software made available on this site back on my laptop such as dell webcam, roxio ect but my dell came installed with ms office and a few other titles is there any way I can get these back without buying them? Also I have a recovery partition now but as its been formatted it has nothing in any tips for setting up a new recovery partition   Thanks for reading my question and your help is much appreciated
