Hello everyone, I just installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 on a clean HDD in my new computer and then just attached my old HDD as a secondary drive. The usual route of navigating through %appdata% doesn't yield results on my now secondary HDD and doesn't show my old save games. I'd really like to continue my projects and this is a bit distressing. Can anyone help me find the path to my old file saves?

It should be in {your old drive}\Users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft

Quote from Tedster

Reason you may not be able to find it is that having a '.' before the folder name can make it invisible.

The dot doesn't mean anything in Windows. That is only true for Unix or Linux based systems, such as Ubuntu or Mac OS X.
