Windows XP has been installed on Vista to accidentlly

I need to know how to reinstall Vista. My son has been download a lot of things and made the computer crash. Instead of telling Me if I could fix it or do a restore on it. He tried to fix it himself. He used our old disk Windows XP pro. All he saw was asumed WINDOWS and it's the right disc. He had the key attached to the Cd case that he didn't need the vista one. Grrrrrrr... So my question is how do I get it back to Vista. Preinstall the software and did not come with a disc. It doesn't have the sticker on the back that has the vista key. It says "Windows Vista Home Premium OEMAct". My computer is an Emachine ET1161-07. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hey AngieEllen

Contact emachines and ask him to send you the vista recovery disc

they do normally for a nominal dimension

http://www.eMachines.com/

While you talk with them, ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard disk to reinstall vista back to factory standards

pressing F10 or F11 at startup will normally begin the process of recovery on some computers

but check with them for the exact key sequence
