Need help with folder security

Guest

This morning I got the blue screen message 0x0000007B. I end up re-installing
windows on a different folder C:\WINXP. The original was installed on
C:\WINDOWS. After I was done I created my user profile again. However, now I
got 2 of each profile; administrator, administrator-computername, username
and username-computername. OK I can live wit that but originally I secure the
MY DOCUMENTS folder for the original username. Now I have a different MY
DOCUMENTS under the username-computer name profile. I CAN NOT access the
original MY DOCUMENTS folder. This is where I have tons of important
documents. I try going into security using the administrator-computername
account but it doen't help. How do I access this folder I need it so I can
back it up. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.
