Problems after reinstaling Windows XP

[=?iso-8859-1?Q?Antonio_Roj=ED?=]

Hi:

I just reinstaled Windows XP... my computer has two hard
disks, when I reinstaled the software, the intalation
program asked me in which dirve I wanted to intall
Windows. Now, each drive had two partitions and I erased
the two partitions of the drive which used to have
Windows before I reinstaled it.

After the instalation was completed I found out that I've
lost all the information of one of my partitions of the
second drive. At first I thought that I had erased it,
but after seeing the free space now I know that that
information must be there because there are like 30gb
that I can't find.

Now, I've been thinking about this and maybe the problem
is that those 30gb were inside "My Documents" folder
before I reinstaled Windows and that folder was Password
Protected and maybe that is why I can't access it now.

So, my question is... Am I right and in that case, how
can I access that information now?

TIA

Antonio R.

If the folder is still there, and visible in Windows Explorer, See Help and Support and search for "take ownership"
