No recovery media - Windows 8.1 install from fresh

Hi,


I am trying to install windows 8.1 with ssd caching enabled and all the answers I get from googling is that I should set the sata mode in bios to ISRT before installation. The problem is that the xps 8700 A08 bios doesn't even have that option available.

How do I enable this mode and proceed with my installation?Additionally, I tried calling a few dell sellers here in Estonia and none of them could tell me properly where I could get new installation media files. Why is the automated installation media only limited to the US and Canada???

With 2 small kids it's pretty difficult to protect hard copies of cd's not only in the US or Canada.
