As you have original cd with official cd key you can create your personal backup of windows setup files but creating copy of windows is not legal activity and that is not supported by Microsoft.

I think you should Create a Vista Recovery Disc .The Recovery Disc created does not install Vista but that will repair your windows when you need It is also not like the OEM Vista recovery DVD there might be chance that dell already provided that so check it.Download the ISO file you can do this with torrent download for OEM Vista recovery DVD. burn that iso so you can boot from this Recovery Disc

no need to use Vista Recovery Disc just simply you can copy your disk to another disk with nero to do that start nero select copy disk then in the source drive and destination drive select same cd/dvd rom then click burn that will create an image of disk on hard drive after creating disk nero will ask you to insert blank disk so remove your vista disk from rom and insert blank disk to burn...
