is it possible to install a fresh copy and find files and folders created 8
hrs before the installation???
 
Hi

Files/folders will be retained if you perform a 'Repair' install but not if
you perform a 'Clean' install of XP.

Hi

If you reformatted the HD, then all the files/folders would have been
deleted.
