Are you sure you didn't reformat or destroy any partition when you installed Windows 7? You can start checking your Windows Explorer and using search function to find.

Also you might want to start backing up your important data to external media than your internal and only harddisk.

Take a look at Recuva, too, in case it's really gone.

When I go to start up repair I just get the black screen+cursor. ALSO, I retried using my Windows 7 Install disc. The same thing happened but this time the window asking me to repair my computer appear (Keyboard type, location, etc.) I pressed next and was also able to get to the page that asked if I wanted to Install or Fix my computer. However, both choices end up not taking me anywhere. For setup, I get Setup is Starting and the circle looping forever. For repairs, I just get the looping circle. The CD also stops spinning at this point.


If anyone has any idea what's going on with my computer, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you!

Going by what you have said ''Hello. I have installed new windows 7,on my previous windows 7. Till that, i have saved my important files in Local disc D. Windows is installed on local disc C.But previous windows version moved moved to D disk''. What you have done is installed the new W7 on the original D: The old C: has now become your D: drive. Therefore your files are lost and unrecoverable.
Sorry

I think Recuva is good free recovery solution to you.
Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File and Disk Recovery - Free Download
I have another suggestion you this thread title not suitable. Always add your problem/issue part as a thread title.

Like this kind of title suitable - How to recover deleted files after installed new OS.

No!
Always make a secure backup copy of everything on a seperate device once a week.
Always!

Take a look at the root of the new Windows partition.

Will this Wizard help me to recover my files?

Will this Wizard help me to recover my files?

Partition Wizard bootable CD's Partition Recovery Wizard will scan to see if the D partition is still recoverable and if so restore it to unallocated space you provide which is large enough. If not then use their Data Recovery Wizard or Recuva.

Please post back a screenshot of your full Disk Mgmt drive map with listings, using Snipping Tool in Start menu. Show us which partition held the data and which one you installed Win7 upon.
