Solve : I don't see my Windows Folder in C:!!?

Answer»

Hi there:

I don't see my Windows Folder in C: even though I configured Folder Options to show all hidden files and folders.

I don't see it under another name, or in other hard drive.

I attached the windows explorer C: contents screen shot.

Thanks in advance...

Any other partitions/drives on this machine ? ?Thanks for answering...

I have 1 500 gb hd divided in three partitions: C: (System) 80 gb, D: (Backup) 180 gb, and E: (Data) 200 gb. (Figures are not exact)Are you sure your logged in as administrator ? Quote from: lostcoast on November 10, 2008, 10:50:09 AM

Are you sure your logged in as administrator ?

This shouldn't matter...the WinNT folder should still be there.

rafael do a search on D: and E: for WinNT.
You may have inadvertantly installed it onto another partition.I already did a search on the other partitions.

The Windows folder is in C: but the windows explorer doesn't show it. I analized the partition with ACRONIS Disk Director and the folder appeared in C:. But the Disk Director isn't the explorer, I can't open the folder...And yes, I logged as an Administrator...I forgot to tell you that I have the problem since the very moment I formatted the disk and reinstalled Windows XP Professional SP2.

After the installation, I've never been able to see the Windows folder with the explorer, neither from the tool BARS in the task bar, at the bottom of the screen...

It's like it wasn't there, but actually, it is...

I have NOD 32 installed and up to date.

Previous to the reinstallation, I had the same partitions but I don't remember having that problem, I'm not sure since I didn't need to examine the folder.can you force explorer to go into the folder?

start->Run

explorer C:\windows

or

explorer C:\winnt

?TRY typing %SystemRoot% into run.Hi Kip:

I typed %SystemRoot% into Run and I finally had the windows explorer showing the Windows folder.

At least I have a solution for the problem, that I can use whenver I need to explore that folder.

Check the attached file...

Thank you very much.
