1) ADB

ADB: Stands for Android Debug Bridge. A tool used to connect and sends commands to your Android phone from a command line on a desktop or laptop computer.

you can use that in 2 ways,

a) If your phone boots up and works :

In order to run ADB from your machine, you will need to set up the following in your Droid "Settings".
Settings -> Application Settings -> Developement

Make sure that USB Debugging is ticked ! Thats important !!!! without it doesnt work.

and install the ADB drivers from here :

CWM (atleast the newer versions) allow ADB access if you are IN the recovery.

Just connect the phone to pc in recovery and install drivers before that.

1) Fastboot

Fastboot is different than ADB. It requires a special bootloader on the phone to run it. If you can see this when trying to enter recovery (volume up + power) :

I hope that made the difference clear
