Question:
I installed windows vista and cant locate all my files I had before I installed……….programs, music, pictures etc…how can i retrieve them?
Answer:
Hi. Check this article out:
Can’t Locate Files
When you perform the custom installation of Windows Vista, Windows Vista creates a Windows.old folder that contains the files from the Microsoft Windows XP installation.
So all your programs, music, pictures etc are in the Windows.old folder. You can just copy your music & picture files to the Vista folders.
Else try the following Microsoft link to help you restore
