Strange. Normally you can just boot from a Windows install CD and when the installer starts you access the hdd setup screen and can just completely wipe out the mbr, setup new partitions and go from there.

manufacturers cost cutting by not supplying proper install discs. Even worse when they don't even do that and just include the files in a recovery partition. Very useful when the hdd fails!
With Windows 8 at least, if you have your s/n then you can log into Windows/M$ site and download the os install iso.
I always grab a retail copy of each Windows so I have an original install disc, however win 8 was the first I didn't do this. I took advantage of a special deal to grab win 8 for £15 when it was released and it linked to an iso download.
