You can reinstall Windows right over the existing file system. Just make sure you don't format the drive when it asks you.

You will bust links to your "My Documents" and other system settings associated with your user accounts. The data will be there but you will have to do some hax0r stuff to get around the windows "security".

I've done this more than I care to admit. IMO recovery disks are good for beer coasters only. Lightweight footprint FTW.
