I heard that if you buy a new computer that doesn't come with a
restore CD, you can make your own. Anyone know what tools will do
this?

Without a doubt you should image your drive(OS).
I personally use Acronis True Image.
Once a month images, mean you are fairly safe at all times.
Old ones can be deleted occasionally.
Having said all that, new machines normally come with an OS
in a hidden partition, that you can use to recover your machine to
factory condition.

@reader.motzarella.org:
Only had 1 store-bought computer in my life. It was a Compaq. It had an
app that allowed me to make 1 set of CD's for recovery in case the
recovery partition of the hard drive was inaccessible. Maybe the OP's
computer has such?
