Hey guys, I need some help.

I got my mom a new acer desktop computer and it has Vista loaded. I want to load chinese XP on it but I know the new computers have the recovery image loaded on the HD somewhere vs providing CD's like back in the day. Can I just format the OS partition and load chinese XP? I would like to keep the recovery image should one day I want to put vista back on. I just can't seem to find where the image is.

Thanks guys.
