^^if you have vista recuse DVD, then you can recover.

Try to Boot from Vista Rescue DVD, It should help you recover.

yup, call the customer care & tell them the problem, dont tell them that "someone gave you a Vista DVD", just say that your system got infected & you formatted the whole HDD thinking the Recovery Disk was enuf to re-install...
