I completely erased all data on one of my laptops using DBAN and now I am lost as to how I should install an operating system. (Windows 7) on an emachines laptop

If its Bios based then same as always, boot off the install media.
If its UEFI (graphical bios) then watch the screen for a message to press an F-key to select the boot drive. Press that key and then select the Install media that has UEFI in front of it. (ex: UEFI: USB Sandisk 8GB)
