What specific options do you have when the Recovery DVD loads up? I've never had to work with a Vista Recovery DVD before (so I'm not familiar with the exact wording/layout of different manufactures' options), but if it's anything like a normal version, you should see the options to (do a New) Install or Repair your existing one. You could try clicking on Repair, then doing a System Restore, but it sounds like you want to do a completely new Install. In that case, click Install and follow the on-screen instructions - formatting will be a part of that process.

That's a link to a torrent. Discussion of torrent downloads violate the forum rules, so we can't help you with that.
