Help!
On the advice of a friend who does tech support, I deltree d windows and
reinstalled it, without fdisking my new hd, leaving all my old installs
intact on the hd.

The reinstall and a few tweaks seems to have solved my freeze problem, but
now my old installs/files are somewhere on the hd.

When I go to MY COMPUTER, the C: drive is no longer identified as C:,   it
is now  {  Disk1part01 (C:)  }

I tried to reinstall two 'already on the hard drive programs,' thinking the
reinstall would overwrite what was there and create a desktop icon for me,
and add the program to the new windows reinstall.
No go.  The two I tried, simply added a new copy of the program.  So now I
have two copies of both of the new installs.

How should I proceed to reclaim my lost programs?
What are my options?
Thanks
Tom Sykora
