I have created an account "egkhajeh" with administrator privileges. I used this account then I have deleted the account and renamed administrator account to egkhajeh hoping to have one administrator account only. I could not access the My documents folder or any other folder under the old account name. I checked the profiles it shows unknown profile message with 3.7GB of data stored in it "My whole live work"
I purchased a new PC now and moved this hard disk to it as secondary "which means I am using another copy of the operating system on the new hard disk"

I need to access the data but I do not know how, please help.
 
An engineer once wrote, if it ain't broke don't fix it, and if it is broke don't work with it

You are not a compuetr harware or software engineer from the sound of things and so it may be best to take it into a shop and get them to fix it for you and not loose any data.

Suggestions:
1) Leave the builtin Administrator account as pristine as possible. It can
be invaluable for troubleshooting.

2) HOW TO: Take Ownership of a File or Folder in Windows XP
