As I say, Vista download is on the link I gave to the Dell Community downloads site. The serial number for the install is on the sticker Dell attach to the laptop, so you should be all set to go now.

Connect it to an old XP machine.
Open up a command prompt
From the c:\ run chkdsk /r e: (or whatever you caddy drive is)
Run the same for chkdsk /f
Run the above for for f: (or whatever the recovery partition is)
This may take 8 hours
The drive should now work
If it does not, use Linux to make a MBR and then access the recovery partition.
In my opinion; dump Vista and use Windows 7
