May we get some more information on your system, is it a desktop or a laptop hard drive you're trying to reformat.

If it is a desktop hard drive that did not come with a recovery partition, you will need to obtain the cd legally. We can't help you obtain them any other way.

This thread might provide some insightful links to help you.
