is it possible to use photoshop 7 to recreat an entire image from just a
portion of the image, and where there are elements in the missing portion
that are not seen so as to be cloned?

I think you are thinking of Adobe MagicShop.

No computer program can do this or will ever be able to do this.

An artist can re-create what he thinks should be there, by painting it. But 
the
information is *gone*; it can not be re-created accurately from the existing
information, by anything or anyone, under any circumstances, ever.

Only under the most strident, limited situations; for example, if your
picture is of something like a Tartan cloth, a fractal, or blank (in other
words, a regular pattern) _or_ a very good random noise 'pattern', and there
is enough of the original in the frame to represent the full pattern from
which to accurately clone the empty spaces. In that case you might be able
to cut a sample from the original and use a Version 7 option such as
cloning, pattern making, even cut-and-paste. In CS you might be able to use
the stitching feature (a panoramic photo option.)
