3) Buy a new "el cheepo" hard drive plug it into your existing machine in place of your existing drive, install windows, then proceed as above.

1) I cant do item 1 as written as I only have recovery discs

2) Can you explain how to connect the old drive as a slave

3) I cant do 3 for the same reason as item 1 above

Good here innit
