CT - there are a couple of scenarios where the "new" distribution method is a pain - as you point out, when you have a hard disk failure, and another, if you "swap" hard drives (rather than just adding one). In the first case, you are required to go to the OEM's customer service who will ship you a self-loading image on CD (matched to your serial number). This CD will partition a raw disk and then load the factory image, which then installs like the original did the first time you booted the machine. The same applies to loading onto a new disk - but if the disk is larger than the original, then you get the pleasure of reworking the partitions, since the CD will create the original size.
