RipperRoo is on a distinguished road
before anyone else posts, what operating system/version of windows are you using?

I have used the restore CDin the past, but I always have to weed the junk out of it after I use the recovery CD
do you mean the windows cd, or are you using a 'recovery disk'
that reinstalls windows allong with all the software/drivers in the bundle that came new with your pc (eg compaq, or hewlet packard).
if this is the case most of the instalation info will be stored on a hidden partition on your hard drive, so be carefull what you format
