Hello, is there a problem with your OS?
Is the laptop still working?

you might be lucky and have a repair partiton , if not if you have the legit keys you can download an untouched copy of the disk from somewhere like thepiratebay.org as long as you have legit keys i dont think your doing anything wrong.

(hoping im allowed to post that here if not really sorry !)
