I've never seen a setup like what you think you have. Looks to me like
sda1 is a simple recovery partition, with an image of what was on sda2
when you bought the machine. The manufacturer naturally makes the
recovery space just large enough to hold the restore images. The docs
that came with your computer should tell you how to boot to a recovery
mode and restore "factory" Vista (should you want to).

I just got through restoring my wife's completely farkled Windows 7 on a
cheap Compaq machine. It was dead easy and I look like I'm smarter than
I am. We used her Linux on the same machine to recover her data,
downloads and the .ini files for a vertical app she needs to use in in
Windows.

I endorse the other folks' recommendation of Parted Magic (shrink
partitions one-at-a-time from the right end to make space) if you feel
you must enlarge sda1, but I'm pretty sure that sda1 being full is not
the cause of Vista's refusal to start.

I concur.
