I have 2 hard drives in my system running windows xp home
edition. I use the d drive as a backup drive. I had to
reinstall windows xp and download sp1 and sp2 and now I
cannot access the files on drive d. All my data was
copied or backed up to drive d and now I can't get it
back. When I try copy back the files I copied over...I
get access denied; when I try to restore the files I
backed up with window backup, the catalog will not
recognize the backup file. Help!!! This is years worth
of data, photos and music. I read article 810881 and this
seemed to describe my problem but I do not have the tabs
or lists it says to clear showing on my computer.
