After mistaken reinstalation Windows XP my previous
Documents and Settings left on Hard Drive, but I am not
able to delete it. Problem that I reistaled Windows XP as a
new administrator and I still have previous administrator
Documents and setting on Hard Drive wich use about 25% of
space.
Who knows how to acces that files or at least delete them
without may be formating the Hard Drive.
 
Hope this link assists you Andy.
