Hi,
having just got myself a lovely new Athlon64 setup i decided it would also be nice to have a clean windows install instead of wading through the reckage of my old one...
I installed Windows XP Homes as normal and told it to leave my current files on my disk to save me the hastel of regathering my music colection.
The problem is that i can't acess the my old accounts files in 'documents and settings' folder because it says 'acess denied' whenever i doubble click on the folder.
I have tryed using safe mode, the recovery console (booted from cd) and linux knoppix bootable cd.
none with any sucess.
The first 2 still say acess denied and the linux cd dosn't recognise my SATA harddrive...
I would realy appreciate any help any one can offer on how to get at my music collection..
I guess what i need is a program which breaks the windows security settings which prevent me acessing it, but despite hours of googeling i still can't find one.
Thanks for any help.
