If you are reinstalling on the same machine as the original license was installed om there is nothing for you to do. You just reinstall and at the end you will have thirty days to reactivate which can be done over the Internet and takes about 30 seconds. If it is an OEM version you probably wont even have to do that.
The problems arise when you try an install on a different machine than the original.

A lot of laptops come with a recovery disk of sort? Do you have any disks with this computer? What model is it? Bit more info would be great...
