If you know the key (check the COA sticker on the bottom of the laptop), just download a copy of Win7 from [here](http://superuser.com/questions/78761/where-do-i-download-windows-7-legally-from-microsoft) and install afresh. – Karan Jun 13 '13 at 16:55

Just boot to the CD and perform a "clean install" with the new key.

There is no Clean Install in my CD recovery, just Repair, Install Driver, Select Recovery selection. – Jun 13 '13 at 03:42
