There possibly is a Recovery Partition already on the hd to bring the system back to factory settings.

Have you been through the malware section to check with the tools there to make sure you don't have a hidden infection?

i want to restore to factory settings ive made a post here not to long ago about the same thing but decided to live with the way the comp was untill now will a bootable vista repair DVD allow me to restore to factory
also after an hour of being a total [bleep] to the people at dell (the only way to get answers these days) they told me that the advanced boot options - repair your comp will not work if the previous owner has formatted the drive which is why i cant find that option

You can either purchase a Vista installation disk and do this all from scratch or contact Dell and see about purchasing a set of recovery cd's which will contain the OS and all drivers for your system.
