Ummm... that doesn't help.
At the bottom of my message I mentioned "This sounds like
it may be able to give me access to the
folders in question, however, booting in safe mode will
not allow the drivers for the firewire adaptor to load.
Is it possible for me to either log in as the admin
without going into safe mode, or loading the driver for
the firewire HD in safe mode?"
I can't even use the HD in safe mode because the driver
for the IEEE-1394 adaptor doesn't load.
sooo... what about this?

Administrator Account - Add to the Welcome Screen
Download the INF fix here. To use: Download the
xp_admin_enable.inf file (you may want to right click and
use Save Target As). Locate the file you downloaded and
right click on it, then select Install. Or Download the
VBS Fix here. To use: Download the xp_admin_enable.vbs
file and save it to your hard drive (you may want to
right click and use Save Target As). Double-click the
xp_admin_enable.vbs file. You will be prompted when the
script is done. INF and VBS files can be viewed in
Notepad.
========================
Will this help by allowing me to use the administrator
account without having to go into safe mode?
