i used an external case to connect my PC's hard drive to my laptop to copy all my files and then formatted it....added a new os, then tried to copy the files back from my laptop to my PC. The files do copy, but are not showing up in my PC, but if i connect again to my laptop it shows up.....it is somehow hidden in my PC, help me out please...

If you have an OS on that HDD already when transferring files, I feel that it is likely that your laptop might have (already asked to) made a new partition when you initially connected it to transfer those files back. You might have transferred those files to that partition and looked in the wrong place for it. If you open up "My Computer", do you see multiple drives? You can also check what partitions you have on your HDD through the disk management from your control panel.
