Need to reinstall Windows 7 on a Inspiron Mini 1012

I have a Dell Inspiron mini 1012 that came with Windows 7 installed. I installed Linux Ubuntu on it, and DID NOT CREATE A WINDOWS PARTITION. Please help me out with how to get the installation software back on my notebook. Thanks. LWS.

You're going to need a Windows disc (first link), external DVD drive, and a manual install (second link)

Thanks. I ordered the DVD. I haven't received a confirmation after I submitted the request for the DVD, should I have?

I ordered the DVD on November 21 at no-charge to reinstall Windows 7 Starter.  Good customer service to Dell.  I will keep buying more items.
