Reinstall Windows

I need to format my main drive and reinstall VISTA. I am told that I have a
VISTA install version available on a partition of my HD.

Can anyone point me to the procedure to be followed to do this?

If you do have such a partition, it was created by your OEM. This is
not a standard Vista feature, and you need to either check your
documentation or contact your OEM to find out how to use it.

===================================
What is the make and model of your computer?

Check with your computer manufacturer for
instructions on how to access the recovery
partition.
