Importing Files

Hi

I've just installed a new 160GB SATA drive as my master in Win XP Home. My
previous 200GB SATA is now my slave drive [F] and I was hoping to have been
able to transfer all my music files from it to the new 160GB drive.

The previous 200GB drive had (and Has, I suppose) WinXP on it aswell, and
when it was my master drive, I saved all my music to a "Shared Music"
folder.

Now, when I go to check F/documentsandsettings folder, there is no Shared
Music, or indeed Shared users folder, but all my other previous profile
folders remain.

Is it because my new 160GB [C] drive has over ridden the Shared Users folder
with a new one? I was hoping that wouldn't happen, and I would be able to
retrieve my saved files.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks.

Nik.
