I have a new hard drive (different drive size then the one on X200).
I was wondering if I can use the Recovery Disk to restore to the new drive?
If not how can I install windows 7 again that came with the laptop?

insert new HDD and use the recovery CD..
it'll rebuild everything like fresh from the factory..

not if you're using the appropriate recovery set. when the reimage is complete, you'll be all activated and ready to go.
hth.
