New computers that come preloaded with Windows 7 usually have a recovery partition for reinstalling Windows. You should consult the owners manual that came with your computer for instructions about how to boot into the recovery partition and reinstall Windows. 

Reinstallation media, sometimes called a recovery disc, is typically included with a new or used PC purchase.  Because the software is already preinstalled, the reinstallation or recovery media is provided so that you can reinstall or recover the software if it stops working properly.  Recovery disks are not licensed to be sold separately from the PC they were shipped with; if you try to install software from a recovery disk on a PC other than the one it was originally shipped on, you may not be able to activate and/or use it.

Note: For some PCs, such as netbooks, the recovery media might be installed on a separate partition on the PC’s hard drive itself.  Refer to the documentation that came with your PC to locate the appropriate reinstallation/recovery media.

You need to re-read what I posted. The recovery is built into the computer. If you had read the instruction book, it would have told you to burn your own recovery disc from the recovery partition in the computer's operating system. At this point, if you have no access to the computer's system, then you will have to contact whoever you purchased the compute from. If you did not purchase it from Microsoft, then they will probably tell you to contact Microsoft to get a disc but Microsoft will charge you for it. If you purchased an extended warranty, then you may be able to get your computer fixed for free.
