    If you don't have a CD drive then you you can create a bootable USB flash drive.
    Make the USB bootable:
    Open an elevated command prompt
    >list disk
    >select disk n
    where n is the USB disk number ---Take care
    >clean
    >create partition primary
    >active
    >format fs=ntfs quick
    >exit
    your USB is now bootable
    Download a system repair disc ISO extract all the files with 7-zip and copy to the USB.
    You need to select the USB as the bootable device in the BIOS. Then follow the tutorial.

    Here is another option which I have never tried
