Pavilion Media Centre 8050Cla needs Vista reinstalled from D (Recovery)

I need to get back to factory condition because someone installed Windows 7 while I was away and it is an illegitimate copy. I only can access D using an emergency boot disk I created while Vista was still  there. Nevertheless, that seems to work. It prompts me to look for OS and I say Yes and it finds both C's Windows 7 and D's Vista. I select D and it starts the recovery but wants to "repair" but I want to Install. Plus it says I'll be repairing Windows 7 (maybe that's the Volume name of C?) and asks me to choose a User to be or Admin. Those are all running under Windows 7. Does that matter? I don't know the Admin password if it has one.

 

Well, that's where I backed out. I stopped before selecting a User. Any advice? D isn't seen in the boot settings or the Windows Recovery in Control Panel, just via this Paragon DVD I made. Oh, also, if I get this to work, any idea if Media Centre will be part of the reinstall? Really appreciate guidance.
