Racovery disc!?

[Guest]

Hi,

I did get a computer some years ago and the only thing I did get with it was
like four different cd, One recovery disc, one drivers & utility disc and two
other with nero and windvd...

Now I wonder if that recovery disc is whole XP or is it just some disc with
important files and "recovery stuff"

I did hear somewhere that recovery disc can contain whole XP, is that right
or!?

The disc is 526MB , (how big is WinXP Home!?)

I maybe have to buy a new WinXP, because I want to erase my harddrive and
install it again, but with this recovery disc I can just repair XP, or!?

Or what should I do, some advice!?

Have you looked at the online documents your pc vendor most likely provides
to get answers to your questions?

Your information is just way too vague. Its like me asking if the spare tire
in my car is full sized or a donut without telling you make model, without
me bothering to look at the information the car manufaturer provides, or me
even bothering to open the trunk and take a look.

Generally speaking, recovery disks will wipe your disk clean and restore the
system to the way it was when it came out of the box in a single operation.
