No need to get a Vista ISO.

Keep pressing F8 on the Dell screen when the computer boots up > Select Repair Your Computer > Select your Keyboard Language > Select your Account > Type in your password (if any) > Select Dell Recovery (should be at bottom of list; probably named something slightly different, I'm going from memory). It will reformat the hard drive and set everything back to how you got it from factory.
