unlocking a blocked folder on an NTFS partition (PS: i need my files!!!)"

[Guest]

hey there.. i need some help!! ive reinstalled winXP, cuz after two years using it, without ever reinstalling it, it got all messy..
The "My Docs" folder, with all my private information and needed data are blocked on my second hard drive. Thats where i keep my docs, but it never occured to me, that after the reinstall it would get to be unaccessable

Yes, the folder and its files WERE made private, when windows asked me to make them.

Ive tried to simulate the previous installation, by adding administrator accounts with the same name and password, but all my attempts were to no avail..

PLEASE do help if you, and tell me i dont have to lose all my files even AFTER I made backup copies, but God forgive me for ive put them on an NTFS partition

Thanx

Larry
