as you didn't get a recovery disk but have the product key means your hard drive has been partitioned into 2 with the 2nd partition about 10gig in size. that is your recovery partition to reload back to defaults & a progrm in windows uses that partition to make your recovery disks. what is the make & model# of the laptop?
