Well normally now a days they don't come with a cd unless you custom build a computer and you request one. Even if you got a cd, it most likely wouldn't be a good idea. As it would probably have the drivers preloaded for that particular computer. As I bought a new computer and it didn't come with a cd, but it came with a Vista Recovery Partition which will do the same thing as the cd. But it is stored on the harddrive. So I guess in your case you are either going to have to do some *cough* downloading *cough* or buy the cd your self.
