Ask your computer maker as to how you are to recover or restore your system.
They must provide a means of reinstalling or recovering Windows to actually
have provided a legal license for Windows. Could be a drive image which
sucks. Could be an install program. Might be in a hidden partition on the
hard drive. Might be on some restore CDs that came with the computer. You
didn't identify WHICH computer brand AND model that you use for anyone that
also has it or is familiar with it to tell you how to get at those i386
files.
