I have a bit of a curly problem, i have a drive with XP
installed and it isnt booting. I want to just remove my
personal data and then do a clean isntall. I have another
computer with win2000 installed and it recognises the hard
drive. When logged in as administrator on the Win2000
machine i can access all the folders on the XP drive exept
for the documents and settings/admin the folder for my
admin account on the XP instalation. How do i access this?
i know the UN and PW for it but it doesnt ask for it?

any sugestions ?
 
You need to take ownership over the area and allow it
to grant permissions to administrators (done in Owner
tab of security dialog within properties of the NTFS node)
