Hi Canus...
What kind of cd did you use? Was it a retail version cd, or was it a recovery cd that came with your machine? (ie: Dell, HP, Compaq, etc...)
In My Computer, double click on "Local Disk C:". How many Windows folders are in there? Are there any named Windows0, Windows1, or WindowsOld...anything like that?

When you reinstalled, do you remember seeing anything in the procedure that mentioned Formatting?

Hmmmmm...
In My Computer again, double click on "Local Disk C:", then double click on "Documents and Settings". How many folders are there with your username or a variation of it?

Try Taking Ownership of that folder and see if it shows any files. Was this folder ever password protected?

Can you be more specific about "somehow gain access to everything i once had"?
Were you able to recover the data from your old account and do the files open?
