Deleted service partition, now I want vista back!

Hello guys,

 

My Lenovo 3000 N100 came with Vista. I wanted to give a test drive of Windows Seven (beta), so I re-formatted the drive.

I deleted the service-hidden partition. Before doing that though, I created a set of two recovery disks from within Vista (Recovery manager)

 

Now I want vista back. I booted with the first disk to get the recovery manager. Once I select factory reset, and answer a few questions I get the "cannot find E:\Preboot\...convert.cmd" file..

 

And I'm stucked, I can't get system recovery to ask me for the second disk, where it's supposed to have the entire vista installation..

 

any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
