There are files in one of the partitions on my system; I copied/created them whilst in XP Home. The partition would be empty without these files (they r the only files in the partition).
The issue here is:
Once I boot into XP Pro, I cannot see these files, there are no files in the partition -it is empty and theres no "used" space on the partition.

Ive tried chkdsk'ing it to avail.

Someone, plz help!

Dual boot setup? You must have sharing enabled on that partition in order to be seen by the xp-pro drive. Boot back into the OS you used to create the partition and right click and open properties and enable the whole partition(drive) to be shared.
Hope that helps!!
