Compatible Recovery Disks

My emachine ET1161 desktop has lost its operating system for the second time. I was able to recover it through the partition the first time but this time it wont let me and the Recovery CD is apparently no longer available. Is there a Recovery CD that is compatible to this model that can be used in place of the one that is no longer available?
