I don't see why'd you even mention this unless you were trying to install pirated copies. That said, you're probably SOL.

usually when you do a OS install you overlap the previous OS so you are SOL on this sorry
but to get back to the previous do a full back up of your users folder and write/type up all the names of your programs and put all of that onto a removable media i will suggest a external hard drive. After doing this do a full format of the internal drive and reinstall windows vista home premium. Once Windows Vista Home Premium is on the drive copy over all the files you want on the drive again and reinstall all the programs which you want to use still.
