Re-installing Windows without using windows

I cant access the Dell OS Recovery software in windows so is there a way of re-installing windows without having to use this? if not, why not! thats like ringing and mechanic saying your car won't start and him saying ok drive it over to mime and i'll fix it! i have no windows cd so i cant boot it that way, any ideas?

Im from the uk so if you have any phone numbers to give me then the us ones wont work!

Thanks

    Call Dell's UK customer service and ask for your missing CDs by using the Software Reduction Plan. They'll send you a copy of the Dell OEM version of Windows XP Home with SP2. In addition, you'll receive a CD with all the drivers for the particular machine. I believe you also receive a CD to reinstall stuff like Roxio and Dell Media Center.

    You can't re-install without an operating system disk, but you can do a restore.
