You can re-install Windows 7 (or a different OS over Windows 7) by mounting an ISO disc file to your ROM drive or by placing the Windows 7 (or a different OS) installation disc into your physical ROM drive. When you install Windows over Windows it will create a Windows.old folder in your C drive directory which contains all of your old files from your previous installation.
