You might want to provide just a little bit more information.

Hi, Wini. Unfortunately, you haven't given us enough information to
really be able to help you. I'm guessing that you upgraded to XP. If
you did an upgrade installation and didn't first remove your old
operating system, you will still have your documents under C:\Documents
and Settings\YourUserName\My Documents. If you did a clean installation
- formatted the drive first and then installed XP - all data on the
drive was wiped out and you would need to restore your documents from
backup. If you'd like more help, please repost with a better
description of what you did.
