Ebaying PC - How do i format with NO Vista DVD?

[Tanzington]

Hi, i'll be Ebaying my Acer M5640 Desktop PC very shortly to pick up a laptop to space-save, but was wondering how do i format it then reinstall Vista with no Vista DVD? the PC came with Vista pre-installed, and i wasn't provided with a Vista DVD, i read around and found out that most machines that come with an OS pre-installed have a partition on the drive for formatting/reinstalling, well i'm unsure if mine does, would somebody with a little know-how of computers be able to point me in the right direction for finding out if i have this partition for reinstalling Vista

Cheers, Ian
