Did you pay for the windows7? is it a custom built or a brand name (Dell, HP, etc) if its a brand name, a restore disc MUST accompany the computer (unless you have a separate HDD partition). If its a custom built, and you PAID full price for the windows7, they must give you a copy.
I would advise you NOT to touch your computer and pay/ask someone who knows how to do it for you.

Most companies don't give you the actual windows 7 cd. Usually companies will put a backup partition on your hd in the event of catastrophic failure.
To check go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Storage > Disk Management
On the right side of your GUI you should see "disk 0" and you should see "Recovery" in the same row.
If this doesn't work contact your distributor, perhaps they will be nice enough to send you a copy; good luck.
Regards
