KenRD,
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,
Gloria
