If you bought it with the computer, then contact the computer manufacturer to see if perhaps it is on a hidden restore partition.

Restore generally only contains Windows and your drivers. You should have
the CDs unless your computer manufacturer puts that on a hidden partition of
your hard drive. Call them for instructions on how to gain access if that's
the case.
