My notebook (xp) has recently broke down, and I moved its HDD to my desktop (xp) as a slave drive, to access my data. To work with more or less the same environment as before, I set the home dir of the user on the desktop to the directory on the notebook's HDD that used to be my home. I have the same username on the desktop as the one on the laptop. Now I am shocked to see that the specified directory has been completely emptied. Is it a normal behavoiur of windows ? Are my data deleted or possibly moved to another place ? They aren't in recycle bin for sure.
Thanks.

Just because they were the same username does not mean they would use the same user profile ( they won't ). Are you sure the actual user profile you were using is now empty? – Ramhound – 2014-05-11T13:29:19.867
Make sure you have the required permissions to actually view the folder content.
