Good day all, thank you ahead of time for trying to help
me with this.
Here is the problem:
I had an IBM HD with XP home on it and had my
normal "Documents & Settings" folder which contained my
main user profile. Within that folder, it had my
applicatoin data settings (Identities, etc), my favorites
folder, email setings ,etc..
Unfortuantely my HD crashed due to a phyisical problem.
I setup a new HD and was able to slave the old one, and
lucikly am able to see some of the data. I can see my
old "Documents and Settings folder from the old HD and
Windows XP install, however here is where the problem
hits.
When I try to access the old HD and user folder, it says
Access denied. I am able to see the properties but it's
set to "Private Folder" and since I cant boot to this old
HD and into windows...i cant seem to change it off of
private folders. I remember when I setup my old XP
install, it asked if I wanted to make these private and I
said yes. So Im assuming it locked them down in my old
registry somehow.
My question to you all, is there anyway I can get into
that old User profile (Documents and Settings) folder?
Anyway to override the private folder somehow?
Thanks for taking a look, I sure hope I can salvage all
of my old settings, favorites, email settings, etc.
Regards,
Darrin
