I am sorry we were not able to resolve your issue for you at this time. However, if your operating system needs to be re-installed and you do not have a copy of Windows, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer for assistance. Normally OEM's place the Windows OS in a recovery partition with instructions on how to mke a CD or DVD from those files.
Thank you,
