Just remembered, after reinstalling Vista, I had THREE Windows directory on the C partition named Windows_0, Windows_Old and Windows. The 0 and Old had my old program files. Was I supposed to copy them to the Windows directory? Most programs ran from the two extra directories. but not all. This is kind of unusual, but seems like lot's of things are in Vista. My question is, when you reinstall Vista, the previous backup is also reinstalled in another Windows directory? Is this why I couldn't access the backup?
Thanks for any comments.
