Our windows refused to start so reloaded it with windows disk and at a section we cipoed files from the old windows onto the new ones. Any idea where these will be?

If you load Windows again onto the hard drive without removing the old windows it will be in a file called Windows 2, right click your mouse over the start icon click explore go down the list to see what is on the hard drive.

It sounds as though you have reformatted your computer. If this is the case, any data you had stored in there is gone.
If your repaired your version of windows instead of putting on a new operating system, try typing what you are looking for into search all files and folder in the start menu.

hi chris
when you install a new copy of windows ,the old files if they are copied over are normallt saved in a folder called "windows.old"
this is only valid if you agreed to this during the windows installation however as you did it should be there
you should find it at the bottom of the "local disk c:",normally next to your current windows folder
if you do have a problem locating the folder just go to start>search>then type windows.old and this will locate the missing folder
any problems let me know
good luck chris !

I can't remember exactly where these files maybe as it's been a few years since i did anything like that.
You may find that they're in a folder in My documents, on the desktop or they're in a folder on C: drive unless you specified for the files to be copied elsewhere.

discover the restore disk. Reboot your laptop, and on the backside of the demonstrate, there might desire to be an interrupt key telling you the thank you to pass into settings. Hit that key. (If its no longer there, oftentimes that is delete). Now, discover the section on your boot gadgets. pass CD all a thank you to the nicely suited. placed your laptop's restore disk (or any OS, Linux in case you needed ;-)) into the rigidity, and press the foremost that proclaims "go out and shop settings". Then it would be a reasonably automatic technique.

If you installed windows from disc then all your date will be lost. It tells you this during the installation process.

I'm thinking (if you completely re-installed) that you copied "files and settings" which is different from copying your data files ... unless you've backed up all your data before the rebuild (depending on how you went about it) you may have to say goodbye to all your data

You will have lost them unless you chose repair. Repair does not touch your files. I think you have just rebooted back to factory settings. They are gone. sorry
