How to recover data from Windows XP private folder ...

[Guest]

Hello MVP's

I reinstall my Windows XP, the data in my user account in "My Document"
folder is protected by NTFS Private Files, As I reinstall my windows I want
to copy data from my previous "My Document" folder but can't copy from that
there is a error of permission. So how can I access that data from Folder and
how I can copy that?

You need to take ownership of the files. Take a look here for
the procedure:

Note: If you are running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, you
must start the computer in safe mode, and then log on with an
account that has Administrative rights to have access to the
Security tab. To start in Safe Mode, reboot your computer and
start tapping the F8 key as soon as you see anything displayed
on the screen. Keep hitting F8 until the Advanced Startup
Options menu appears. Use the up and down arrow keys on your
keyboard to select Safe Mode. Hit Enter.

Good luck
