Well honestly I had two of these machines and I just threw them out. I wouldn't put Windows 7 on the machine if I were you, if you want to format it simply download Windows XP and make a bootable USB out of the download. You should be able to use the COA that's on the casing of the machine as a key.
EDIT: You could put Windows 7 on the machine but you must source it yourself. Just make a bootable USB and when installing windows they give you a Basic/Auto or Custom/Advanced option. Go to advanced and delete all partitions until you have yourself just one partition then click next.
