I need to basically reset my hardrive with windows 7 but I do not have the cd for it. Is there any alternative way to reset my hardrive with any programs? I wanna start completely clean.

So I insert the usb drive with the iso on it when it tells me to and it should reset? Is the iso free?

This is a laptop with Windows 7 already installed on it ?

 

If it's the case you can use the OEM recovery partition to reset your laptop to factory.

u "burn" the iso onto the ubs, and the iso is free

but you need your windows key.

You can find the file names for the ISO that you're looking for on MSDN. Google the filename, download it, burn it onto a DVD or use Rufus to make a USB, boot from the media, and install.
