have you tried to use a system restore point, say yesterday?

 

i just installed windows and change the direction of my documents file to a second drive. I meant to redirect it to an other folder in my second drive but nw it sees it as my whole drive. When i try to reset to default it wont let me help please.

Use the quote or multiquote, for faster responses \/ \/

You can assign location of your 'My Documents' folder by going into 'My Documents' properties and look under 'Location'.

http://www.starkeith.net/coredump/2009/05/18/how-to-move-your-windows-user-profile-to-another-drive/ Here's guide on how to move files like AppData and such so they are on second drive when windows still sees them on primary drive. For just Documents, Downloads and Pictures you can use method that @Tommex84 suggests.
