Answer:

When you "wiped clean" your P,C,. you also removed the program which contained the necessary codecs to play a DVD - try downloading this - it is free (a one-stop codec pack) http://sourceforge.net/projects/gordianknot

If your computer was wiped clean than perhaps you need to update the dvd drives "driver" or it could just be the case that you do not have a media player installed that would handle a dvd. Take a quick search in the program files on your C: Drive for any program that looks right, like WinDVD or something.
