How did you trash the OS in the first place?  There is no simple way to do this outsdide of the restore CD from Viewsonic and they only have the one for Android available for download.  The restore must be run from a PCwhile connected via USB.  There are no step by step instructions that I can find for restoring Windows.  You should be able to create a Windows 7 USB install and use that to reinstall.

IF YOU ARE NOT TECHNICAL DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS.  You can cause more damage that good.  To be safe send the unit in for servicing.

Note that there is an upgrade available to Android 2.2 here:  http://www.viewsonic.com/products/vpad10.htm.  The upgrade instructions and user guides are available at that link.

The restore ISO and instructions can be found here: http://ap.viewsonic.com/in/kbase/article.php?id=255
