not sure what you mean by recovery cd?
That is what you get many times when you buy a new computer instead of a
real XP CD.

A recovery or recover CD is one designed to restore your PC to default
"factory condition". There is usually a (mirror) "image" stored on a
partition on the hard disk. When you insert the recover CD it reads that
image and resets your PC, Windows, drivers and everything else to how it was
on the day it shipped to you. It is a low cost option to providing you with
a proper Windows CD.
Sounds like a great idea!
Not really. First, recover CDs tend to work by deleting everything on your
PC, including all your programs, your settings, your drivers, your emails,
faxes, documents, images, video clips... everything. Secondly, they rely on
having the original hard disk in the PC. If you ever change your hard disk
(even 5 years down the road) your recover CD becomes completely useless...
and so does your PC.
