Hi

Apologies if this has been mentioned before, however I installed Build 7057 on a partitioned drive, install went fine however all the other partitions have had a folder created in them called $inplace.~tr\machine\data and all folders with their have been moved under the that folder. The original folder structures still exist but without the data. Can anyone tell me what the $inplace.~tr folderis and how to remove it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Sorry to waste people's time, found the fix on Microsoft Knowledge base, problem caused by changing the paths of folders in Vista.
