You can repartition and reformat the USB drive to whatever configuration/system you want.

USB drives are so cheap now. I would just put that USB away in case you need it again. It's just too much trouble to create one (you need another computer, load the recovery dvd and create the bootable usb drive)
 
How do you manage to put the recovery DVD on the usb key?? I've created an iso image of the DVD and tried to put it in my usb key with isotostick.sh (which worked to install Ubuntu on my aspire one) but I't didn't return good results :

bouchmil@bouchmil-laptop:/home/bouchmil$ sudo bash ./isotostick.sh Acer.iso /dev/sdc1
Not verifying image...(no checkisomd5 in Ubuntu so skipping)!

Yes.

You should boot a PC from the recovery disk and follow the onscreen instructions to create a bootable USB stick.
