I had a problem with my computer recently and my friend re-installed Widows XP on my F drive. Everything runs now and I still have some data from my C drive working but I'm missing almost 30GB of video. I can't seem to find it anywhere! Anyone know how I can find my work?Start/Search is usually helpful.

It is unusual to have Windows on the F drive. Were you trying to do this? Is that where the missing data was located? How many hard drives and how are they partitioned?well there are two drives C and F. i remember when my friend re-installed it he was givin an option at a SCREEN asking where he wanted to install windows xp and he chose the F drive. all the information i lost is on the C drive.I would have backed up my files befor re-install regardless, but sence you did not I would try and run a sech or get some data recovery SOFTWARE is you run a sech in the fourm it will bring you to an old thred with all the info you need, unfortunatlly i dont remember were it was.

PS. just a thery maybe it was on your C and there was just a SHORTCUT on the F.  :-? :-? :-? :-?Can you see anything on the C:yeah i can still see alot of things. i have my music and program files but all my pics and videos are gone.Windows will write to the C:\ drive no matter where you CHOOSE to install it to...keep this in mind for down the road.
