Hello panueloh, I'm in Summerville!
If you ran a Vista install disc and it reformatted the HDD; the Factory Installed Programs may be gone and not retrievable!
But you may have a "Recovery Partition" to bring it back to the original Factory Installed state.
If you choose to do so.
Look around in the documentation that came with the machine to see if this is so.

I hope you get it sorted out!
