    Hi guys,

    I have recently bought a new Sager 8760 with a single drive configuration and added my old HDD as the 2nd drive tonight. My question to you guys is:

    How do I locate the old My Documents/Pictures/Music folders? A lot of my pics, vids and saved game files are in the old My Documents, but as the new drive is running windows they are inaccessible as far as I can tell.

    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    If the old computer was using XP... My Computer--> (appropriate drive)--> Documents and Settings--> (insert username)--> My Documents... then inside there are all your Music, Pictures, and Documents.

    If it's Vista or 7, Computer--> (appropriate drive)--> Users--> (insert username)--> then here is where your media/document/desktop folders are located.

    If you can't see any of it, you may have to take ownership of the User Folder to see it's contents.
