I recently updated my computer from Windows ME to XP and
I cannot find any of the old files nor my emails. Did
these get deleted? Is there anything I can do to retrieve
them. I have tried the Transfer Wizzard and although the
task is completed I still cannot find any of the
documents.

Thanks in advance.

It's almost certain they are still there -- however, XP needs them to be in
a different location, so they aren't being seen at the moment. Here is an
article explaining the problem and giving exact steps to resolving it. (BTW,
the same applies to My Documents items.)
