It should be able to boot from optical drive, that would be set in the BIOS.
The recovery disk will be on the hard drive.

The DELL would be very nice, but I say get the ASUS.

Check the comments to his review. He fixed it by disabling fast-boot.

On the second subject that came up. Is lead free solder hard to soften after it has been there for about ten years?
On something like an A1200 would you use a heat gun, rather than trying to desolder the PLCC chip?
