  Exactly what model Vector do you have?  Some took
hard-sectored diskettes. 
Only some?
I am unsure of the model, to be honest. The front case simply says
"Vector". The sticker on the back says the model number is 9002-something,
if memory serves.
(The Vector is in a 'mainframe' configuration, with multiple terminals,
and an MFM hard disk attached) 
It would be wise and even a good idea to see whats inside and what model
as if you don't know we can't even guess.

...
 I have done a quick review and am confident I own no
hard sectored disks
at all, so if the drive is hard sectored, I'm kinda up a tree without
another classiccmp member helping me out.

Any extra information, even lacking preformatted and bootable CP/M disks
;), would be very helpful. 
Lacking further infomation it's really hard to guess from here.
