oK HERE GOES!!!

Im in a bit of trouble here ;

xp sp2 downloaded, crashed and burned on the restart! dont know why - blue
screen errors the works, so i thought ok ill survive ill re- install then
salvage the documents later.

I DESPERATLY need to know how to rediscover the files but am told i do not
have access to the folder on the old systems hard disk drive letter:\my
docs\james patterson

i have tried accessing the folder from the newest system on the second drive
- also by reinstalling the standard windows onto the same drive and getting
it from there but no!
