iLife missing after fresh install - no option to accept in App Stoer

Hi

I recently replaced my HDD with a SSD, and installed Mountain Lion fresh from a bootable USB stick that I made with Lion Dismaker.

The install all went fine, however I now have no iLife suite (iPhoto, Garageband and iMovie). I have checked the App Store, they are not in my purchases and I can see no option to 'accept' them. I bought my MacBook with Lion and the iLife suite pre-installed so have no disks for them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thankyou

Go to App Store > Account > Show hidden purchases and see if iMovie, iPhoto, GarageBand are here. If the programs aren't there, contact with App Store > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact

Thankyou for the reply - I can see no option to show hidden purchases within My Account.. only my personal details and account balance, plus the option to reset warnings for buying and downloading.

Hopefully if I contact they'll be able to help, I've heard of redemption codes being given out.
