Windows Vista
That is a problem, did you happen to make a recovery DVD disc? if so! you are in business, but if you did not contact Dell's customer support and technical department, they may have a solution.
Recovery disk will not re-install? I have tried both the *Dell drivers and utilites disk & the recovery disk I made?

there is a strong possibility that you have a video card failure.

Dell has a program called zztop, you can find the utility here:
http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&releaseid=R20457&SystemID=DIM_PNT_P03_XPS_T___&servicetag=&os=W98&osl=en&deviceid=1509&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=1&catid=&impid=&formatcnt=1&libid=7&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&fileid=20307
there is a hidden partition ( you cant see it in windows nor will you be able to see it in most partition managers) that holds your original OS. Running zztop will put this image back on your comptuer.
SOURCE: put back to factory settings
run sysprep under system32 folder, it will give you out-of-box Experience.
WHAT CAN CAUSE PC RESTORE TO FAIL?
If the hidden DSR (Dell System Restore) partition is removed
If the MBR (Master Boot Record) is modified in any way (such as if you load the Vista Upgrade over XP)
If you change the MBR but the pointers to the DSR partition are left, the DSR will boot, detect that the MBR has changes, and flash a screen that informs you that the MBR has changed and that image restore will not run
If you create additional partitions, changing the MBR, Dell PC Restore will be disabled to prevent it from overwriting these partitions that may contain critical data during a restore operation
If you add a second SATA drive and migrate to a RAID array using the Intel applications accelerator in windows, running PC Restore will put the image back on C:\, but the system will not boot since the boot sector is looking for the ATA driver (factory image) and the bios is looking for the RAID driver (migrated configuration)
If any of these occur, you cannot set the system back to Factory condition. You must manually load the operating system, drivers, and all application software.
Note:
You must press <F8> before the Windows logo appears on the
screen. If you press <F8> after the Windows logo appears on the
screen, the Advanced Boot Options menu will not appear on the screen. If you do not see the Advanced Boot Options menu, restart the computer, and then repeat this step until you see the menu on the screen.
