Hi all,
I installed XP pro over XP home edition and have lost all previous folders,
programs etc. I have checked and tey appear to be all there and I can access
most of them via my computer/ C drive etc but this is frustrating. Also none
of my addons or hardware will work. Windows recognizes some of it but asks
for the cd. Is there any remedy for this problem.
Than you in advance for any assistance
 
From what you say it would appear you have installed a 2nd installation of
win, rather than upgraded
Do you get a 'select installation' when you boot?
 
Thanks DL. No. Computer just starts to desktop. This Article ID : 313362

Revision : 1.0, explains what I did! I stuffed up. But most of my files and
programs are still there but do not show up in the expected locations. EG.
1. If I go start, all programs; only the programs from this
installation are listed. If I go , My computer, local disc C, (folder)
program files; they are all still listed and most of the folders appear
intact. I have run a few programs from there, OK.
2. I can access most of my documents the same way going to a
folder named ' all users.Windows'

None of my extra drivers work only microsoft.
