How can I easily create a windows 7 boot disk?

new acer laptop (3 weeks old) froze up on him. He tried a ctrl alt del, when that did not work, he unplugged it. Now the pc wil not boot into windows. He gets to the screen where he can enter the BIOS or set up boot orger. The alt and taping the f10 did not work. Acer says they will mail recovery cds, as there seems to be an error with the OS and recovery partitions on the hard drive. It will take a week to get them. Son would rather have his pc working sooned, as sharing the 3 family computers with 6 other siblings means he does not have much computer time

In windows 7, can a boot cd be created, like in previous versions of windows? If so, how? I work at a pc helpdesk, but I am a phone tech, basic trouble shooting, so I wil need detailed instructions.
