    I got two hard disks. In the one i had the xp which i cleaned and formated and then installed the windows 7 ultimate..The other one i had files that i wanted to keep and i cant see it now.
    I guess the problem is that both hard disks have the same now C:

    You should have unplugged your data drive before installing, as I suspect it installed to the first C drive it saw on your system.

    Might be best to wait till you get home and sat at the computer, so you can take a screen shot of your disk management.

    "7s", have you put two versions on there? Not sure what the issue is, as I would have expected XP to be on C in the first place.

    When i Installed the xp 2 years ago. I had two Hard Disks...the one called C: which was the big one and the one called D: which a smaller one. I decided to install Xp on the D: one.
    Yesterday I bought Windows 7 ultimate and installed them on the D: one which i formated and cleaned before installing.
    Now the D: became C: and i cant see the old C: one...
    Thats as simple as i can put it..
    Thanks! any help needed!
