I upgraded from 98SE to XP Professional. I could not find
any documents of any kind, Office or Works Documents,
Pictures, Videos, etc., so I restored back to Windows
98SE, but still have no documents whatsoever. Does XP
place documents in a different folder or what? How do I
recover them?
 
It appears you selected "New Installation" rather than "Upgrade" during
the initial setup phase of installing Windows XP. Choosing "Upgrade"
would have preserved your documents. If you chose "New Installation",
and installed XP on the same partition as Windows 98, your files were
probably over-written.
