Anyway with some messing around I found out that my windows xp somehow decided to install on the wrong partition even though I'm willing to bet my life that I made no errors.
Can someone at least please tell me how to copy an entire folder and its subfolders to another directory? I tried xcopy and robocopy but it seems I get it wrong.

EDIT: Ok I found out robocopy "folder" "destination" /e

Now I'll just have to format and reinstall, ah thank you jesus
