Files corrupted after using tranfer wizard???

[Guest]

I recently upgraed my computer and reinstalled Windows XP home, my computer
was corrupted before I did the upgrade, I used the files transfer wizard to
save my files and documents and transferred them after upgrade. My computer
is still running slow. My question is did I also transfer the corrupted
material across as well. Any help would be great.

When you say you upgraded what exactly did you upgrade? The whole computer
or specific components?
