I had my motherboard die on me while running XP. I built a new computer
and xp wouldn't let me boot. I did diagnostic scans on my dard drive -
everything is fine. I did an xp repair install, and it still won't let
me boot (i get a blue screen basically saying if i boot, it could
damage my hardware, then it freezes) So, i installed xp on a different
drive, and set my drive up as a slave. All the information is on my
drive, but the important things i need to get to are under c:/documents
and settings/Me ("Me" being what my password protected administrative
user was on my old pc) Whenever I try to access that folder it says
"Access is denied", it won't let me move it, it won't let me rename it,
it won't let me access it from command prompt. How do i get the files
off of my old drive? Please help.
