I installed Windows xp pro twice just incase one messed up. So one day the
1st install crashed, so I went to the back up install. Now I can not retreive
the my documents folder for the 1st install. How do i get access to this
folder???

You did what? heh
Not the soundest of plans - IMO. Better just just keep the machine cleaned
up and backed up. If you have to fix something that might require such a
plan - you can do a parallel install *when you need it*.
