    Do you know your licence key? Try calling the big M are see if they can help, if not then you will have to either buy or obtain another licence or install Windows 7 RC1 which is good until March next year

    You should be able to borrow the disc from anyone who has the same OS and then enter your license key.

    Go here:

    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=326246

    If you have some pre-built PC from Dell or some other company(and it sounds like you do if your license key is on your PC), then go to their support site and there should be an option to order a new boot disk.
