not possible I'm afraid. The program you need is the very OS you're seeking to keep. Maybe you can get a copy from emachines?

nope - no can do. You need the system disk.

If you have the Windows license sticker on the computer, then you are entitled to an OEM copy of Windows. Ask emachines or some other computer shop for the CD, borrow the thing from someone or, heck, download it off the internet.
