The problem with that "recovery disk" is that 1) it includes everything
that was installed on the PC when you got it--a lot of which, I'll bet,
you don't use, didn't want, and uninstalled as soon as it was set up; 2)
it does NOT include anything you installed afterward. So if you ever
have to use it, you're back to square one.
As for having no idea where it is, I've been thinking of writing up some
notes on configuring a new PC, including record-keeping protocols.
Anyone here interested in a copy? (Written in XyWrite, of course.)
