Hi,

I have recently upgraded my PC and I am now using a new Window XP on a new
harddisk. I would like to backup the personal user account (desktop) files
(stored in \Documents and Settings\Username\*.*) in my old Window XP user
account stored in the old harddisk but the files are protected and I can't
view or access them. I have tried to boot the machine with my old harddisk
but it failed due to different configuration of chipsets and I have tried to
use the same user account name in my new Window XP to access my old XP
account but it also failed.

Is there any way I can access the folder and backup those file? Thanks for
help.
