The program with Format and Recover, using the origional OEM disk, is that you're installing the crap version of ME along with all of the origional crap presets that the OEM is aksing for.
Now, to fix your problem, I don't know why you would format your harddrive. Rarely, there are problems that require you to format, and I'm wondering if you had one of these problems.
What made you want to format in the beginning?
