The response about restoring one's PC back to its original state was
directed at Lionel since he asked specifically about the consequences of
using his Recovery Disks.

I also have SP2 and still do not have the back up. Besides, if I want to
return my pc back to what it was when I first got it, i'd use the 2 CD's
that came with the pc. I use the restore in my pc to return my pc back to
what it was at a earlier date. Not to make the pc as it was when it was
brand new. If I did that then I'd loose everything I have put onto my pc.
Making it like it was when I first bought it is not what I want.
