Need help with installing windows 7 after replacing motherboard.

Hello,
I just got a new motherboard and processor on my PC and now when I turn it on it tells me:
"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and the click "Next."
3. Click "Repair your computer."

Status: 0xc000000e

Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible."

I have my win7 disc, but I am not sure what to do, will all my info be removed if I follow these steps? And I dont understand - will this will re-install windows or just "repair" it? and what does "repair" really mean?

If this will re-install my win7, but I choose not to format my hard drive, will everything be just as it was before?

My main concern is, I just want everything on my PC to be just the way it was before I replaced my motherboard, how do I do that?
Thank you beforehand!
