I have an impressive bank of knowledge and experience. Unfortunately, I've lost the combination to this bank.
It should have a partition with Windows rescue on it. You can usually bring up the reinstall option by pressing F8 just before Windows boots up. If not partition he'll need the Windows disk.

Yes as Keith says, it might be on a hidden partition. Some computers allow you to make recovery discs but you should be able to access the recovery through Windows too. Without this, as has been said...you will need a disc.
