    That will work IF the recovery partition is still there and not corrupted. If it's there then you are good to go. If not , and you have a valid license key on the bottom the the laptop ( usually) then you can get the same Win 7 version ( Pro, Home etc) ISO and reload it, then use that license key number on the bottom of the machine- you are then officially licensed , no worries. Anotehr option though rare these days is a DELL Windows 7 system disc. It will only work on a Dell machine though.

    That is the option I chose to begin with, but it didn't work. Thanks though.
