I dont know how old your laptop is, but generally, most laptops have their licence key stuck to its back. So you can use any windows CD, just make sure it's the right type as your license and you're good to go.
From the description, it seems like you're in the process of detecting hardwares/drivers, so im pretty sure you've passed your bios loading stage. Search up on how to get into the bios. Standard keys on desktops are Insert/Del depending on MB. Also, for laptop, maybe you have to press the function key to actually get to Insert/Del.
Once you got in there, set your first boot partition to CD, 2nd to HDD0, F10, put windows CD in, restart. The rest should be quite straight forward.
PS: I am guessing alot here, so dont bite me if it doesnt solve things. Do post back.
