From the issue description, it appears that you have lost all of your files from Windows XP.

Please answer the following questions so that I could assist you further:
1. Which version of Windows 8 are you using?
2. Is windows XP dual booted?
3. What is the method of purchase of Windows 8?

I would like to inform you that if you have erased your drive containing the data during Windows 8 installation, there is no way to retrieve them.

If you haven't erased the drive containing the files, it is possible to get them back.

If you have created a recovery disk or have imaged to hard disk containing the data and Windows XP, you can burn it on a virtual drive. >/p>
