C:\Windows files are located in C:\Windows.old\Windows

Since I upgraded from WinXP to Win7, I've noticed that C:\Windows files are located in C:\Windows.old\Windows. This happened because, while trying to install Win7, one of my RAM's chips seemed to be broken, stopping the process several times. So, at the end, I throwed it away and I'm with Win7, BUT, with the multiple attempts of install it, the system, apparently, overwrote the OS and, now, I'm using the "old" one.

Does someone have ANY ideas? I could reinstall it, yeah, but I already have some programs and huge stuff so, i prefer to make it as last option.

Since now, I thank you.

That folder contains your old OS. Once you have everything needed from it you can delete it using Disk Cleanup's Clean Up System Files option. Disk Cleanup - Open and Use - Windows 7 Help Forums

You will have another C:\WIndows folder in the root of C drive for the new Win7 install. Do you see it? It could not be in Windows.old.

Nope. The problem is that, my OS is using C:\Windows.old\Windows as C:\Windows because of things I explained on the first post. Trust me, I know how Windows.old should work, but it's actually wrong.

Please post back a screen shot of C Drive explorer and disk management.

You mean the upload step? Sure.

There's no one here who can read portuguese. Great. Well, I'm going to translate it for you, later. I hope get some help, then. And thanks for those who already posted here.
