i recently bought a new pc. I removed the HDD from my old PC and installed it
in the new one. however i cant access the files in "my documents"on the old
HDD because the files were protected. The instance of windows XP on the old
HDD is so messed up that i cant even start it. the system doesnt promt me for
a password or anything. I am logged in as system administrator. how can i get
around this.
thanks,
mark
