        I'll say this too, make an entire image of the disk prior to doing anything else. A non-booting image is better than unrecoverable/corrupted data.

          Does the system hard drive have a "recovery partition" from the manufacturer with a .wim image file?

          If it does, you should be able to boot from any XP\Vista\PE install CD and access the backup image for restore....

          You can also burn a "recovery CD" which will boot you into the recovery environment from any working Win7 or XP O/S.

                If it's a factory restore disc for a different machine, it is useless for you. Plus, the key is built in and wont pass activation.

                  I think he was actually talking about a "recovery disk", which is different than an install\restore disk.

                  Although I have been known to be wrong a lot, just ask Smurfette....

                    If you need a Win7 ISO, I can burn one for you, I just need to know 32 or 64bit.
