RecoveryDisks has a rating of 3.2 stars from 19 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases. RecoveryDisks ranks 26th among Tech Support sites.
No issues installing. As others have stated having issues, I was able to install the media without using the directions. If you have a basic understanding of how this stuff works, there are absolutely no issues, what so ever, getting them installed. One thing they could do better, is their shipping polices. The website states 14 business days for delivery. Luckily, I did receive mine after about 4 business days. But have heard worse.
I think this place went out of business or something. After nearly a week, my order didn't get processed and the company NEVER returned any calls/emails. I ended up having to dispute the charges through my bank. AVOID!

I thought I would receive a single restore disk. I received everything! 4 disks. 5 stars of they send tracking automatically when item ships or can supply it when you ask. They did respond to an email query within a half day but no tracking. Order took about a week to arrive in Indiana.
We bought recovery-disks.com set of dvd's to get our office computer back up and running. We ended up having to install the hard drive first and then install these discs. It was a fairly easy process and didn't cause us any downtime. Luckily, the installation took a couple hours and was very easy to do via the included instructions. I did have a small hiccup with the discs, as I thought they didn't send the correct discs. But, once we followed the directions, they installed perfectly fine and there were no issues. I highly recommend these discs are anyone in need of getting their computer installed back to factory specifications with little to no downtime. Also, if you don't see the set on the website, be sure to call them to order it over the phone. I know it doesn't say how to exactly but trust me, you can easily just call their number and explain the problem. They were able to place my order, no questions.

Fraudulent company one guy Joe, will never call or pick up your call. Only the occasional email back and forth in which nothing will ever get solved. No tracking or shipping info will ever be provided. No product... no refund. Says you sign an agreement which you never will. It's been over 5 weeks. You've been warned. Never give this guy any business or money. He'll take your $50 or $100. Guys a criminal and should be investigated!
Fabulous company, I ordered a set of restore disks for an HP that HP did not have. As usual HP support sucks. Restore disks confirmed my order and shipped the disks to me very quickly. I recommend this company with stealer reviews. Thanks for being there when I needed you.

Computer was taken out by a virus or three. I guess my youngest and his friends (teenagers,) were using the computer this past holiday break (luckily they are back in school today! Yay!)
Looks like they went to some websites they werent supposed to and ended up getting infected with a couple trojans.
Ordered the discs with overnight shipping last week, got them this morning. Everything installed in about 1 hour and here I am typing my review on the computer.Its working better than it did when I bought it! Thank you!
Never order anything from this site. They sent me disks that are defected (Geek Squad was not able to use them). I then attempted to contact the company numerous times and the ONE time that someone responded to me they were so rude and short with me it was beyond unhelpful. As if this wasn't bad enough, they are now refusing to give me a refund
Thanks Caitlin, for your review. I do apologize about the experience you've had with us and would like to point out a few points for the potential customers that might be deterred from our service by reading your review.
1. When you called, I was the technician that answered and helped you. I was not aware I was short and rude with you. I apologize about that. I do remember our conversation and I remember laughing and joking with you about the geek squad. No rudeness or shortness there.
2. We have contract with the Geek Squad, I work with them on a daily basis (why they didn’t call us directly for help is interesting.) They are high school students that are not qualified to work on computers. I asked you to go get your computer and your money back and I would help you myself with the installation. I do not believe offering you support and help is rude, or being short. Please, in the future, do not trust your expensive electronics to Geek Squad. It’s been proven in the past that they will tell you something completely different is wrong with your computer or that something doesn’t work so that you will buy a new machine in-store. I am of the opinion that our average customers is much more qualified to use these discs (they're that easy!)
3. I have called you and texted you numerous times about this. You responded the first few times and then failed to do so after offering support to get this squared away. You do not appear interested in a resolution. My experience of customers who complain about the discs not working and then cut off communication later, is that they eventually do get the discs to work and then no longer want to talk to us to resolve the issue, because it’s already resolved. If it is resolved, please remove this review, or at least post a follow up review. Additionally, you could remove the review altogether.
4. All CD sets are tested before they leave our office to avoid situations like this. We test every product to make sure that issues like this are kept to a minimum. You would not believe how many calls with get from Geek Squad or other big box stores that are UNABLE to follow the directions included with the order. The majority of technical calls we get are from "technicians" that state there is a problem with the CD. As soon as they start following directions, they have no issues installing them. In fact, I know for 100% certainty that you would have no problem installing the discs on your own. They're that easy to install!
5. Please call me or text me back to resolve this. If you are genuinely still having an issue with your computer and the discs did not work, I want to help resolve it. If it is a problem with our discs, we will replace them IMMEDIATELY.
6. As posted in the terms and conditions on the website, there are absolutely no refunds or exchanges under any circumstances. That is because they're a technical product, we test it for functionality before it leaves the office.
The discs do come with clear and concise directions. Out of 100 orders, maybe 5 people call in with issues similar to Caitlin’s, above. If you find yourself in a similar situation and are frustrated, please do not blame the discs. Give us a call directly at 800-896-2363, option 3, and explain your situation. We will do our best to point you in the right direction. Thank you.
I'm fairly computer savvy and was able to follow the directions in the package to install them. I've read some of these reviews and am appalled that some of these people couldn't figure out how to install these.
I've installed about 3 or 4 different sets of disks and dell disks are by far the easiest. I was able to get them installed in about 2 hours and have everything up and running and installing updates.
Keep in mind once you get the disks installed you need to install virus protection that will work for your machine. These guys sell virus protection which is some sort of lifetime protection software that I decided to buy. It turned out to work very well so far. Its only been about a month but my machine is still running like new.
If you're able to read, you should be able to install these disks. Don't listen o these other idiots on here.
I ordered a restore disk set for a Dell Latitude computer on March 3rd. 2013 - It was $50 or thereabouts. I made sure to read over their terms and conditions because of the complaints I had read about these guys. When they claimed it would take 12 business days for my disk to arrive, I was a little apprehensive to order, but because I couldn't get them anywhere else, I went ahead and did so anyway.
I was pleasantly surprised when my disk set was delivered to me on Wednesday the 6th. It only took two days for the discs to arrive. I believe this is because of how close I was to these guys.
**Update - installing the disks went just as planned. Utilized the included instructions, took about 2 hours from start to finish. Computer works just as it did when I bought it 5 years ago. Will recommend them to others in need of restore media for their computers. Some of these reviews had me worried, but my experience totally differs. Cheers!
Jeremey and Johnathan put together my cardio equipment. They went above and beyond the call of duty. They didn't have to do this. The cashier asked Jeremey if he could do it and he said he would if the manager allowed him. The manager said yes and Jeremey said it will be done in 15 min. Thus young man is very nice and hospitable. I will be back at $#*!'s in Reading.
My computer was dead and I needed to revive the computer to its original state. The disks provided by recoverydisks.com worked perfectly once I followed the directions. I would certainly like to recommed this company for its service. Other companies were considered other providers but this was the best in my opinion.
I must agree with the other reviewers here. The product itself does work great and is very easy to install. The company is easy to work with, responded to my emails and even helped me find my product key stuck to the side of my computer. The reason for the three start review was the fact that it took 8 days for me to get the package. If you order something online, it should be delivered within a few days. I don't understand why it takes over a week for me to get my package from these guys. Everytime I called, the guy was a litttle snippy to me asking me to review the website terms and conditions. Stating that they are a small company. WELL HIRE MORE PEOPLE. It shouldnt take 8 days. Yes, I realize that the website says 12 days, but who reads that small print anyway?
Fraudulent company one guy runs in his Momma's basement. Strung me along for 5 weeks until I finally figured this out. No product... no refund. You've been warned.
They make it sound like they have original disks. But if you found them online you can find the same drivers for free. They are NOT original. And guess what. No refunds. Ripoff!
Michael,
I apologize about the experience you had with our company. I assure you that our discs are copies of the original discs that came with your computer. You CANNOT find these for free on the internet. Please stop spreading false information. It is fairly obvious from the other customers that have written reviews that our product does work and is exactly what they need to restore their computers back to full functionality.
Additionally, I cross referenced your name and account information provided and it does not appear that you are a customer of ours.
We do not appreciate our competitors spreading false information.
Called to find if recovery software has shipped on July 13th, received email saying: your order has been processed and is awaiting shipment. "You should have this long before the 14 business days." Ok, Great. Called back July 22nd. 11th business day. Told by employee Joe the 14 business days rule. I ask so when will they ship. Joe says "I Don't know". But, and here it is. If you upgrade your shipping ($20.00 plus) we can ship them tomorrow. Why are they holding my disks hostage? So, I $#*!ed at Joe for his ignorance an unprofessional response to me. After continued pressure, Joe finally says "you should get your order in the next 1 to 3 business day's. I get email from the telephone tech support guy (joe) saying I have been placed on a block list an can no longer order from them. Why would i? I am bewildered that a low level phone tech has that much athoritity. This company should have business license revoked. Joe should be fired at the very least. This company is the reason why people don't want to make online purchases. Check out website: RIPOFF.COM and others for more stories about recoverydisks.com
Tip for consumers:
DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY!!! They boast 50,000 customers. 50,000 one time customers would be a more honest statement.
I apologize about the experience you've had with our company. Please note that on our website we do post the shipping time estimations. It is written in quite a few places. Additionally, there is also a terms and conditions box that you must agree to before you can place the order. Unlike most companies, we try to make the process as painless as possible. That is why our terms and conditions box only has 5 short paragraphs. One of the very first one states that the shipping times MAY be up to 14 business days! Obviously, we don’t want to upset any of our customers so we try to make it as obvious as possible to our customers that there may be a wait for your product. Please keep in mind, we are a small company. We sell our discs at the absolute possible LOWEST price. Because of this, we do not have a large staff on hand.
Please note that you also called numerous times and emailed numerous times. This resulted in your number being blocked by the system for too many calls. Unfortunately, we have a large problem with people spamming our 800 number trying to run up the charges. Because of this, if you call 5 times in a 10-minute period, the system will auto block your number and it might take a few days for someone to verify that it was an accident, or a legitimate call, instead of spam. I do apologize about this.
If you would like to order from us in the future, you are more than welcome to. We will provide you discount off your order and cover overnight shipping for you to try and make you experience more enjoyable. While we do not take full responsibility for the issues at hand (because we delivered well within our time frame,) we would like to extend an apology and let you know that we will make it up to you if given the opportunity.
Thank you and we look forward to working with you in the future.
Found the sites link on another site, the site has lots of brand listed on the site and the service is pretty good.
