They have two recovery options, but their advice is to back up any data first, so waiting for the external drive is best now.

Performing a System Recovery replaces system files and original software with the files that originally came with the computer. This process may move or remove certain files, like those stored in My Documents. Before performing a System Recovery backup important files and the files stored in the My Documents folder.In either case, be prepared to reinstall software that was not originally included with the computer. You will also need to reconfigure an Internet Connection and obtain all critical Windows Updates, Virus definition updates, and anti-spyware updates.

You could try system recovery first

This link is for online chat with their technician, this is usually worth looking at because they tend to stick with it until it is resolved
