Hi,
You don't say what type of License you have.
The only legal Windows 7 download available is now from Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery
But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 Retail Product Keys, not OEM preinstalled Product Keys (Dell, HP, etc).
If you have a Retail Windows 7 License and are having troubles at the above website, contact Microsoft using the Support option there.
If you have a preinstalled OEM License (Dell, HP, etc), contact your Computer Manufacturer to order Recovery Media which they should supply for a small cost, IF they still have them available (which is highly doubtful)..
Or you can also borrow the exact same Retail Windows 7 Edition DVD and use your Product Key to reinstall.
The COA sticker with the Product Key is either on the underside of the Laptop or in the Battery Compartment.
With a Desktop it is either on the side, rear or top of the Computer Case.
Cheers.
