I used a windows restore disk. and i belive it broke my recovery partition
Not sure what a Windows Restore Disc is. If you used the Dell-Alienware OEM Windows 7 INSTALLATION Disc ... right, that disables the Recovery Partition forever.
However, that means you have everything you need. Do it again properly ... and you should be back in business.

Not sure what exact machine you have. I'm guessing a laptop ?
There is:
1. Dell Restore to Factory Condition (using Dell Recovery Partition)
2. Clean Windows Install (via real disc) and then core Drivers and basic apps install
Which did you do originally?
