Changing a disk creates no licensing problem whatsoever. Only a change
of the mobo would require a reactiviation by MS.

I wasn't concerned with reactivation issues, but rather if I could use
my Win7 PRO DVD to boot and access the the System Recovery Options on my
Vista O/S. Please read my original post, thank you.

No.

You need to contact Dell and see if you can get a recovery disk from them.
Should be able to with just a little cost.
