Cant access Dell Recovery after Win 7 Upgrade PLEASE HELP

Hi, i installed Windows 7 RC1 as an upgrade (i didnt format and i still have my recovery partition) but i decided to revert back to vista but it looks like Win 7 changed the recovery thing and made it look like this: http://cranialtrauma.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/windows-7-recovery.png

I press F8 when my computer turns on and go to advanced startup options and then press Repair my computer like i did before but now it takes me to a different repair section like the one in the picture above. How do i get it to read from the recovery partition like it used to so i can reinstall Windows Vista

The original repair thing looked similar to the one in the picture but it had the option to restore the computer to factory settings and i need to get it like that again so i can restore Vista. I'm sure it can be done since the recovery partition is still there with all the files.

The computer is an Inspiron 531

Please help me, im sure there is a way to make it work again.
