I reinstalled Vista on my laptop and all my documents etc are in Windows.old - how can I get that back?

This morning, my phone said that I had to reinstall Windows Vista I did from my drive.  Now all my old documents and settings are gone, but they are stored in Windows.old.  How can I get these back working again?

Thank you
