What happens when you try to access your old files?
What error message do you see displayed?
When you right click on your old folders and select Properties
from the menu, is the Security tab displayed?
Which version of Windows XP is installed on your computer?
If it's Windows XP Home Edition, you will need to start your
computer in Safe Mode in order to see the Security tab on the
folder's Properties page.
To start your computer in Safe Mode you need to tap on the F8
key as soon as you see anything displayed on your monitor.
Keep tapping the F8 key until you see the Advanced Startup
Options Menu.
Select Safe Mode from the menu.
If Windows XP Professional Edition is installed on your
computer you will need to disable Simple File Sharing in order
to see the Security tab.
Go to Start -> Control Panel and double click on Folder
Options.
In Folder Options, click on the View tab.
In the Advanced Settings box, remove the check mark from the
box next to "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)".
Until you obtain access to the Security tab, you will not be
able to change ownership of your old files.
Post back with answers to the questions I've asked and we'll
try to figure out some way of getting your files back.
