When you installed Windows 7 you probably selected the default options and it reformatted the hard disk and thereby deleted your restore partition. You probably will need to reinstall Vista from the DVD or the backup CD's that you should have made when the PC was new.

Good Luck
The recovery partition is still there, but i am not able to restoreVista from it..
Also I have folder in D;drive named HDD recovery 5.3GB , but dont know how to restore Vista from it.
