Yes. A "recovery CD" will usually reinstall Windows. True
Check the package... Usually, you should get a "recovery disk"!
Easy answer to try first is using your windows CD to do a repair install. Go through like you are installing new windows, and when it searches your hard drive it will show you your old windows install folder and ask if you would like to repair it. (don't press r at the first screen for recovery console, that's different)
That will depend on how the recovery disc is structured. If it uses the manufacturer's own imaging program to create the system on the disk, it will likely not work with another computer. If it uses the usual Windows installer, it should work. Regardless of whether you can install Windows from the disc, it will usually not be activated and you will have to purchase another license key to use it on that computer.
The readme file that came with your new operating system should have the detailed instruction on how to create a recovery disk. That recovery disk should enable you to reinstall your operating system. I do know that Microsoft has a very detailed support system should you want someone to talk you through the how-to
One method to create a recovery drive in Windows 8 is to open the Charms bar. Once it is open, one should search for "create recovery drive." This will open a visual of the recovery drive. Next, one should click on the "crate recovery drive" under the settings. This will then start the recovery drive wizard.
Because Windows XP has been around for so long, that is impossible to answer definitively. Newer computers that shipped with Windows XP should be able to run it, while other ones probably will not meet the system requirements.
