I had a problem with Win XP SP1 (when I logon the tray and the icons didnt appear ) so I made a image of disk "A" (the one with WIN XP SP1) to disk "B" (it was empty). I made a clean install in disk "A" but now I have another problem. When I try to access the documents folder in disk "B" through disk "A" I get a message saying " Access Denied "

I guess this happens because my old windows account was password protected. How can I access my folder through the new instalation (in disk "A") ?

As long as the files were not encrypted, you can regain access to them by
taking ownership.
