Yes you can if your "restore" CD is different than your
OS ( Operating System disc),. BUT if your Restore CD
was the same CD as OS - then you're in trouble.
The reinstallation of Vista is simple if you have / had
retail version / license. Just see if your BIOS is setup to boot from CD
and insert the Vista CD into the CD tray and reboot your PC. The OS
will do the rest for you, but you'll have to provide the Key of Vista
at a certain point.
If you had OEM Vista there might be some problem
but you still can sill it only when verification of version license of
Vista
comes forward - you would have to activate the Vista and here may be
a problem.
