Hi!

I would be greatful for any help on the following problem:

BACKGROUND:

I managed to make my WinXP/SP2 Unbootable by installing something called
"IDE Mini driver".
The system just reboots over and over.
I cant reach Windows even if I try booting up in safe mode.


MY UNSUCCESSFUL SOLUTION:

I then mounted another disk as master and installed windows xp on it.
I also installed the "old" disk as slave......

!!! ... and I can access all data on the corrupt (slave) disk - EXCEPT FOR
The data in "Documents and Settings\myAccountXX" !!!
I only get "Access denied"

I remember I made this folder "private" some year ago during creation of a
password for "My Documents"

* Is this a cryptation problem?

* Anyone knows what to do? I know the user / password for the old
problem-account

* If I can't access the onfo using the "slave-disk" concept, could I boot up
from an XP installation-disk and select the repair - option?
My only XP-CD is has no servicepack in it, and the problem-disk has XP SP2


Desperate for help!


//Peter

the documents and settings files belong to the accounts on the old
installation. to access them from the new installation you must login as an
administrator and 'take ownership' of them so that you become the new owner
and can then access them.

Ok, I forgot to tell that I'm allready logged in as an admin.
When I right-click on the forbidden folders and selecting properties, I have
no security-tab like in Windows 2000
Can I activate this feature in any way?
