Solution
go to the old hard drive and right click on the "user" folder and select propertys does it show lots of files taking up a lot of space? if so your files are still there just hidden

Go to file manager / explorer, Tools, Folder Options, click on View tab, select "show hidden files, folders, drives"

Now go to user files on old drive, the last one you were using should now be view-able.
