HELP! LOST FILES

[Preston]

I upgraded from Windows ME to XP Home. I selected to
overwrite the ME operating system. XP finally installed
and now I have all my old folders, all my old program
folders, but NONE of the files underneath them. Is all the
old data hiding somewhere that I can't see? I sure hope
so. I don't think XP formated the entire hard drive,
because why would it still show all the old program
folders. All the old program icons still show. But some of
the old programs won't launch. What is going on here?????

you may have to re-install them. Did you run the Upgrade Advisor?
