I would try deleting the partitions on drive C so it becomes "unallocated". Then go into the BIOS and set your optical drive is first boot item. Then put your Win7 OEM install disk into the drive and re-start the computer. Since you have no OS installed on your machine, you'll have to place your drive into a friend's machine so you can access COMPUTER > Management > Disk Management.
