I had compaq presario P4 1.7 GHz with 20 Gb HDD with 128
MB SD RAM with windows XP home edition which was supplied
along with the machine & I had stored data in my
documents in my user account which was password
protected. Now I have upgraded my system to 80 GB of HDD
& mother board of 2.4 GHz with hyper threading technology
From intel with 512 MB DDR RAM through a local vendor,
also I have my previous 20 GB HDD with Windows XP home
edition loaded on it. All my previous files & folders are
copied to my new drive except the files & folders which
are stored in my documents of my previous user account
which is password protected & the error message is access
denied.Please suggest me how to retrive my previous data
to my new gard drive without loosing any data.
