I attached my Windows XP Drive to my new Windows 7 system in order to transfer the files. All folders were visible except "Documents and Settings". When I looked at it a couple of days later, it suddenly appeared, whereas another folder disappeared from the Windows 7 disk and had to be re-copied to the Windows 7 system. What gives? Has this bug been fixed?

How about trying to un-hide files and folders from the folder options setting? open any explorer window -> tools -> folder options -> from the pop up window select the view tab select sow hidden files and folders and hide OS files .... The Computer Manual

Hi, If the folder is created correctly, it would remain in Windows 7. Based on your description, I suggest you can search for files using advanced search options, check the result. If nothing can be found, please confirm you copy it to Windows 7 completely. please note: some processes will be canceled when it meet mistake. And you can try to find the folder by showing hidden files. Hope it helps.
