Did you reformat your computer first of just installed windows over the top? If you reformated then everything got erased, if you installed over the top your then files will still be there but all the settings will be gone and the programs will need to be reinstalled to work.

Wrong.
I have a feeling you have now got two installations of Windows.
Check the tips and tricks forum, for ways to get your system back.
