Hello
I recently set up a new PC which has a new install of Windows 7.
I have entirely new hard drives, so I have been using a hard drive port to copy data from my old PC hard drives.
I dumped all my data in Storage (E: ) and was thinking about where to store all my pictures, etc. Obviously the default in Windows (C: ) :ar: Users :ar: [My name]
... and all the folders are in there, including My Documents, My Pictures, My Videos, My Music, etc.
I wanted to transfer all these root folders to E drive so as not to fill up C with files. I figured I would move the folders before copying all my old data into them.
I started with "My Pictures" folder. I moved by right clicking, selecting location, and trying to move to E.
However, this did not move the folder as anticipated, it simply moved the directory there along with some of the few recent pictures I had saved in the folder. Everything simply arrived in E with no actual folder.
Now the original folder has disappeared from C, and I cannot find a way to restore it.
How do I restore this folder, and how do I go about moving these foldes to the desired drive?
I've tried restoring defaults, unlinking the folder from E in the hope it would reappear in C, and making sure hidden folders are visible, but nothing has worked so far.
Thank you
