Boot from your Windows Vista DVD, select the System Repair Option > on the
setup screen, select 'Repair Computer > Select your installation of Windows

Hi,

Consult your system documentation or contact the manufacturer regarding
their restoration procedure since you cannot load the OS nor do you have a
Vista disk. The methods used vary by manufacturer and machine.

Well, since you bought it yesterday, it must be under some warranty you can
take it back and let them get it fixed for you.

Take it back to the re-seller.

If they have sold you something not fit for the task it was sold for, they have to replace it or give you a refund.
