Ok.. Heres what happened. For some reason an
installation of Windows XP Pro stopped booting. It locks
up durring boot, i havent been able to fix it. My
question is how can i get access to a users files on the
hard drive. Eg. The admin user made the files in the
documents and setting folder private.. now that i have
the HD in another computer i need to recover some files
from the user folder in documents and settings, how do i
do that? Every time i try to accedd that folder it says
that access is denied. Thanks for your help.
