Thanks Sammyone.
Unfortunately the recovery disk that came with the HP PC dc7700 only gave me one option and that was to restore to the last recovery point.  In this case that was Factory Set Up as no alternative setup point could be detected on the hard disk.  i.e. No Recovery alternative option from tthe recovery DVD;  hence lost all the data on the drive.  Have backups, but not very recen,t so a real dogs dinner as they say.  Will have to make the best of it.

SO for those  embarking on a similar path, make sure you have a current back up of all your important files BEFORE you try and  install a dual boot.  Live CD had not given problems.

Trouble is need a Windows machine option as back up hence the rty for dual boot with Vista.

What is winLite - would that be a viable windows back up run under WINE?
