I know it's too late but... I want to thank everyone for their help. I managed to get my laptop up and running again, all by myself and for free *smug face* (by that I mean, with your help and no salesman)
I googled what was suggested, (learnt what an iso file was,) downloaded it, then used Novicorps WinToFlash download to get the Windows 8 files onto my usb in a bootable format. Then I panicked because it looked all fake but it was okay in the end because I Windows Update did its thing and my legal, paid for, original product key was activated again and all is well!
Relief doesn't even cover it! It's disgraceful, in my opinion, that Samsung or Microsoft wouldn't make the installation files available to me, a paying customer.
Thanks again guys
