You could try, but I bet you can't. Those recovery CDs usually contain image
file only (and necessary support files), and usually require format your
HDD. They work much like ghost software (eg. Norton Ghost, PowerQuest Drive
Image), which make everything on HDD an single image file, you can't just
access a file or the OS part of image, only the whole thing. **Latest Ghost
software allow you access individual files within an image file.
