Sounds like the recovery partition has been destroyed somehow. Had a similar problem on my laptop last week infact, hard drive ate itself so had to replace, hopefully yours hasn't.

Does it have usb? If so do you know anybody with a usb disc writer?

If not i know a place for a free download of the full windows 7, you'll have to use your activation code on the bottom of the laptop to activate it, providing its still there and readable, then if i can find the program, it will enable you to install it from a pen drive.
