Let me lay the situation out. Two computers, one with all my stuff on it, but crappy internals, and Windows 7 installed on it and all that good stuff. The new PC has pretty good hardware, but had to use the same copy of Windows 7 that I used on the first. I wasn't too worried since I had bought another copy of W7 (which was on the way) so I could just register the new computer with the new copy. However, in some form or another the new computer registered W7 with the old copy, so now my old PC has just decided to stop working. It'll startup, but it sends me through Windows recovery and such, and it refuses to really let me do anything without just reformatting the hard drives, which is something I don't want to do since all of my FL accounts are on there, not mentioning loads of other things. Essentially what I'm asking is if there is a way to recover from this point using the new copy of W7.

What Utrack said.
Plus, you can/should write down/print off all of your FL account numbers and put them somewhere safe before you do that.
