i cant get into my local xp profile

here is the situation. my xp crashed last night. i took the hard drive
and attached it to another machine and i can see my data. id like to
transfer my data to a another place (the other hd on my machine) which
is going fine, but i cant get into my particular profile under docs
and settings . i get in others but not mine. could i have marked this
private. is there any way that i can get to the data in this folder
since it includes My Documents.

Thanks for your time

Frank

Hope this helps Frank

Double-click Folder Options.
On the View tab, under Hidden files and folders, click

Hey Mark,

Maybe I didnt make it clear. I can see the folder. I get an "access
denied" message. I see other profiles and can open them (Documents and
Settings), but I
cant open mine.
