I missed the fact that you are using XP Home in the original message.
In XP Home version, you will need to boot the system into Safe Mode, and log on with an Administrator account, to take ownership of the files and folders. The articles that I referenced in my previous message address this issue.

slave in a different system will all of those links still help or are we in a
different problem. I will review the links to learn more and wait to see if

One of our workstations a Windows XP home Compaq system took some bad
lightning and killed the motherboard, mem, and CPU the hard drive works and
that is good because it has data on it that I need to get back.
The problem is booting up in any other system it just reboots after post. If
I force the drive to slave I can see the hole drive and all folders. The
folder I need is at” E:\Documents and Settings\Owner” and when I try to enter
the folder I get an access is denied error. I know and the end user that was
using it knows that there is data in their.
I was wondering if there is a way to reset the password or remove the
password, or any other way for me to get this data back I would appreciate
the help. --
