Inspiron 1525 - factory image restore problems (need help!)

$

Hi all,
 
I have a problem with my Dell Inspiron 1525 I cannot solve... so please help me!!
 
My Windows Vista Home Edition crached while installing an update and now could not start anymore (I always receive that bad blue screen while starting), so I'd like to repair my laptop using the Dell factory image.
 
I'm following these steps ...with related problems
 
1.. I hit F8 while booting but there is no "Restore Dell factory image" entry or something like that (I even tried each entry one by one but nothing starting factory imagine restore).
 
2.. By booting with an Ubuntu live cd, I can see that there is a partition containing (amoung other files and folders) that image (<D>:\dell\image\factory.wim), and a Tools folder where there is imagex.exe and pcrestore.exe files
 
3..a.. Using a bootable usb pen drive containing a bootable dos version, I boot into the system. I also put into that usb pen, ntfspro.exe in order to read ntfs partition
   b.. I went into D:\Tools and run this command:
        > PCRestore.exe      --> but I received an error saying that this program cannot be run in dos mode
   c.. so I tried this one else (I read it here in Dell Forum):   
        > imagex /apply c:\dell\image\factory.wim 1 c:\       --> but I received the same error as above, that is this program cannot be run in dos mode
 
4.. Moreover (and I think this is strange), I tried to boot with the operating system dvd shipped by Dell with the laptop: Windows starts loading but just after the (green) progress bar appears down the screen, it crashes again showing that bad blue screen!
 
 
Now I don't know what else I can do!!!!!!
 
 
.....please help me!!!
 
Is there a way to restore the laptop with the Dell factory image??
 
Thanks,
   Orlando
