Welcome Ealyealy15 to the windows 7 forums.

First you need to specify what computer you have like model and such
Fill out the system specifications in the user control panel
and then we can give you some advice.

Are you running Factory Recovery from boot or from within the Win7 OS? If you can boot the OS try making your Recovery Disks first to have as a backup method. If Recovery then won't run from OS try running it from boot using key given on first screen.

If you can do neither then your choices are to order Recovery Disks from Tech Support or to get a superior Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. Everything you need is in the blue link.
