private folders

[Oto Koukal]

I have a question.

I have had some problems with windows xp and decided that
it would be best to just use my spare hard drive and
install winxp again to recover all my data. I came across
a problem of not being able to recover the data that I
made private. I even tried to put my user name and
password to what they were on that account before, but it
didn't work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
