After Safe Mode Scan and Delete, Will not boot

[lostwater]

I had a rootkit virus, I installed MBAM from Chameleon, it scanned and found a rootkit virus, I chose delete, then it went to reboot, stopped booting like it did before running MBAM, now it will not boot at all, will not even let me press F8 and boot into safe mode. Again, will not boot.

I cannot find my dell win 7 disc, so I am unable to try and get it booted from a cd-rom.

How do I go about reinstalling Windows 7, and, if I can, then will I be able to preserve my old directories to them copy off my stuff? I will then reformat and reload.

Thanks,

Mark
