I have had so many problems with my computer I am
contemplating using the Sys Recov. disc that came with the
computer. How will this affect my license for Windows
XP? Is there anything I need to save first?
 
Your license is not affected, since the same copy of Windows is being
reinstalled on the same computer.

You will permanently lose everything on your computer that you do not
backup.
 
Hi, you recovery disc will more than likely restore your sytem to that as it
was when it left the manufactures, i.e it will format the disc and remove
any files or programs that you have installed. However I suspect it will not
affect the MS licence as that part should be automated into the re-install.
If you wish to save any files or settings I suggest that you either back
them up to another media such CD-R/RW, or use the files and settings
transfer wizard to backup to another drive, or again a CD-R/RW. Hope this
all makes sense.....
