My old hard drive with XP Home crashed, so bought a new
one to boot off and connected my old one to this. I am
able to view my old files, but when trying to retrieve
documents and emails from the 'Documents and Settings'
folder, it gives the message 'Folder is not accessible.
Access is denied.' There is a resolution for XP
professional by selecting 'Use simple file sharing' in the
Security tab of the folder. XP Home doesn't seem to have
this option. Any ideas on how I can access my old files?
