make and model of the machine
A few qestions
1) Did you get any recovery or windows Cds with the machine
2) when you first started the machine - did it tell you to make some recovery CD/DVDs - if so did you make them
3) you may have a facitity to start the recovery process from the machine
a) under programs
b) via an F key on boot

have a look for any program under the name of the machine - like recovery centre or manager
