| The motherboard went out on my old computer. Before I was aware of this, I thought I had a windows problem 
and tried to reinstall XP over itself withoug wiping out the hard drive. I could never make it through a 
complete install. I bought a new computer and am trying to use the hard drive out of my old computer as a 
second hard drive in the new computer as I had no backups of data and do not want to lose everything on the 
drive. However, everything is in My Documents and when I try to access My Documents on the second drive, I can 
not get in as it says Access Denied. I also tried using it as the master drive, finish the windows upgrade on 
it, but that does not work either. Is there a way I can get permission to access the My Documents on the 
second hard drive?
