Recovery cds are probably limited to that particular brand of pc, if you have one of the big ones like Compaq, Dell etc. Windows setup can look for a certain bios string to make sure you don't install it on another computer, Microsoft used to require this from all OEM's to avoid the cheap OEM Windows version that's on a recovery cd can be installed somewhere else. But I never heard of the recovery cd being hard disk dependant, so it should work fine as long as your new hard disk is in your old machine. You can always try anyway.
