You upgraded ? (Bad move !) I assume from Me or 98 ? This will not change
the partition format unless you ask it to.

However, unless you formated during the installation, and XP can "see" you
files, as you say (I think, you're not terribly clear there), you can play
them. Double click on them to start WMP.

Re-post if necessary with clearer details.
