so my wife got some kind of virus or something on our old laptop which had vista, turn it on and it would say windows can't start. So we bought another laptop. I wanted to get it going again that way my daughter could watch her mickey on it, so I did some reading and got a windows 7 disc and installed it, works great. I was reading some more and found that the old files are still on there. :D I says awesome, I had some pics and stuff that I never saved. well I found the windows.old file but my user name isnt there, and all the pics and vids are default ones, but there is a lot of space taken up by the old files. I downloaded recuva and it said a lot of the files are unrecoverable, but I have NO idea what files it was showing. any ideas??
