can i access my hard drive after?

[kobi64]

hi
I'm using win xp with sp2
my windows was playing up so i reinstalled it and removed
the old installation

My question is : Is there anyway i can access my hard drive to retrieve
my files that where on the old win xp?

I'm assuming / hoping the files are still there since i didn't dump the h/d

thanks

Are the installations on different drives?

If not, did you do a repair, rather than an install?

Did you do an install over top of the old one, rather than reformatting?

Hi
I've done a reinstall not a repair and no i didn't format the h/d
so both win xp where on the same drive no partition

does that mean it's all gone?
thanks

Well, does you hdd only have a partition? I advise you to partition it, then reformat the C drive and install a new XP. I think it's not necessary to format the whole hdd.
