a "re install" disc is just a windows installation disc, a recovery disc is something different.

You'll have to get to a working DVD drive, in order to copy the Windows Install disk to USB.
You'll also need a working version of Windows (XP or above) to use DISKPART.
Here's a guide: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-windows-7vista-from-usb-drive-detailed-100-working-guide/
Even though it says Windows 7, the same guide will work for any Windows version above XP!
Finally, your motherboard BIOS must support booting from USB. Pressing <F8> during boot up will give you a "Boot Device Menu" on many motherboards.
