Came home to find my laptop had suffered some kind of crash during the day.
Windows could not restart and there was a message about Hardware Failure.
I used my windows system disc (7 64 bit) to reinstall windows, all seems fine now though all my iTunes and pictures etc now reside in a huge folder called Windows Old.
ANy ideas how I can reinstall things as they were just 24hrs ago?

You can't. You can copy the documents etc from the windows.old folder but you're going to need to reinstall all your programmes.0
