Trouble going back to Vista

I just bought a laptop (secondhand) it is a Dell Inspiron e1505. The
original OS was Vista Home Premium.

The HD is partitioned and drive D, consists only of a recovery restore
utility - Dell Factory Image Restore. The instructions are to use F8 after
boot and goto Windows Advanced Boot Options select the option "Repair My
Computer". However I do not have that option.

I can see the file on the D drive it is 4.21 GB and it is a WIM file. Is
there a way I can restore without doing so through Windows Advanced Boot
Options?

Any help would be much appreciated!
 
Dell uses a utility designed specifically for their computers and not
really related to Windows Vista.
Try the newsgroup alt.sys,pc-clone.dell
Probably available on your ISPs news server.

Or if there is warranty, contact Dell support.
