Big difference between a recovery-CD, and a complete OS on a CD. The recovery CD is going to have info on all your old hardware settings, BIOS, etc. It will take a puke if you stick in a different motherboard.
I've had a few MB failures over the years. It's never been worth buying a new board UNLESS I needed to retain some old features like ISA slots or the older 1st generation PCI slots, old RAM slots, etc.
I just had an on-board sound chip go bad on a Dell motherboard. I could of fixed just by adding a new sound-card to over-ride it. But, the processor was slow and the Dell board was limited to only 2MB max RAM. So, I saved the two hard-drives from it and the two DVD burners, bought a new computer and added them in.

For $275, shipped to my door, a new MB wasn't worth even thinking about.
