You can order the system disc(s) from HP or go out & purchase a separate Vista disc for the machine.

doing what you did, destroyed the master boot record. you'll need a disk to recover, or get to the windows recovery partition on d:/ drive. should be a recovery on the first boot screen, and 'f' key to execute it.
