Make/model? It's not that old, so as mentioned above there should be a partition on the hard drive that you can reinstall from. You might need to check your documentation, if you still have it. If you have a Windows CD/DVD instead, try starting up the laptop with it in the CDROM drive and see what happens.

PS: Don't forget the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard before you reinstall.

PPS: Do you really need to re-install?
