More importantly is do you still have your product key?
If not then before you wipe your PC, download and run a key finder.

Also it would help if you know if it's an OEM or Upgrade/Full Product
version of Windows installed on your PC.
This will at least give you a start if you need to call Microsoft or the
OEM.

By first obtaining a replacement CD.

If it was a retail license and you have proof of purchase:

If it was an OEM license, you should contact the computer's
manufacturer.
