Recovery of Windows XP files after upgrading to Vista Ultimte

I just upgraded to Vista Ultimate. I followed the sofware steps and now I can
not find all the previuos files and data that I had with Windows XP. The
upgrade option was clear that I was not going to loose any data. What is
going on? I am in panic mode now. To much data of years of work and family
pictures.

Do I need to run a special command? Is there a search option? Can I go back
to Windows XP and get that back? Please, do not sermon me on how I did not
backed up the disc. I tried, the hard drive I have was not allowing me
because it is in FAT32 format.

Some help please.

Look for a windows.old folder
