rohaninabout,
If your system came loaded with Windows media edition pre installed then there should be a way to restore it.
Most systems come with a partition on the drive with the system restore located there.
Try looking in Start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools for the manufactures system restore utility.

*deleted the duplicate post*
Is this a branded computer such as a Gateway, HP, Dell etc.? Manufacturers are suppose to supply the end user with a windows disk, if its a custom machine that was bought from a computer shop it should also have a disk. If you wasnt given one, they owe you one.
do you have a sticker on the case anywhere with the media center cd key?
