No you have the vista disk, put the disk in and restart the computer, then you gotta go into bios once the computer starts and change the boot order so that the cd would load first, then exit out of bios and computer will restart. Then it will say "Press any key to boot from disk" which you press any key and will start the reformatting and reinstalling process and just go step to step.
Uhm I would again suggest searching google for more precise instructions I have limited web power at work so I can't find a good link on how to do this process and more :P
Maybe you got a friend that knows how to?

 

thanks for the advice. i'll try to use good ol' google
I did that many times all you have to do is insert the disc into the dvd drive, the reboot your computer when it reboots hit f8, f9, and f10 this will cause you to boot from the dvd then you have to follow the directions and there should be an option to format and do that. Also is this a custom computer or store bought, if it is store bought hit the three f buttons when the companies logo appears

 

i already formatted it. windows installed, and it's booting up now. thanks for the advice

if that happens again then try booting into safe mode and uninstalling from there

i fixed the problem. and actually, vista runs at about the same speed as my old computer despite the fact that they both have 2gb of RAM running at the same speed. and they both have apprioxmately the same CPU strength.

BTW, as for the "upgrade to linux," i prefer to play games. =p
