This is the Vista that came pre-installed on the laptop.
Do you have distribution media that can re-install from scratch on "blank" hardware? If not, I'm not sure it's even an option. You might want to try using whatever installation or recovery disc you got with the laptop to perform an installation or "recovery" operation on a VM, but offhand I think there's some possibility that the release is sufficiently specific to the actual laptop hardware that it won't run on something so different from that hardware as a VM. That's all just speculation, though.
