Dave: If Windows was pre-installed on your PC, you hold an OEM Windows license, and should have a sticker somewhere on the PC case with your product ID. If you can get your hands on a copy of the OEM CD, you can legally reinstall as long as you have the sticker, AFAIK.
Last time I looked, you could get the OEM CDs for about $10, but you might need to have an account with a distributor. Perhaps your local PC store can help...?
