Backing up the OS from a netbook?

Backing up the OS from a netbook?

I'm looking at getting a netbook but I see that they don't come with the OS on cd/dvd. Is there a way for me to make a "backup" of the default install in case I get a virus or HD wipe and need to "re-install" the OS?

"The acer aspire has a hidden 8gb partition with the install files in it - you can run an installer or retrigger something in the bios to re-run this and give you a clean install.

Otherwise I would just driveimage the machine once i had removed all the crapware."
