My sisters BF just bought a PC for his business. New PC's don't come with backup disks anymore. The guy at best buy told him that you have to burn the MS OS to a DVD-R...? Uhhhhh how do I do that?
My 2 new dells came with back up disks

Dell is the only company that comes with backup disks. All the others do not.
This is an HP btw.

Well first, you need a ISO of the OS.
Then, you need to download a ISO burning program (I use CloneCD).
Then, just you know, pick the ISO and pick your DVD Drive

What brand of Computer is it? Some have provided backup/OS backup to disc software. If it does it should have asked to burn backup discs on first run.

If it's an HP, it should come partitioned into a recovery partition with a fresh OS.
