I hope someone can help me out with this.
I recently purchased a new pc (windows xp prof) and i hooked up my old hard drive as i wanted to transfer some files over to the new hard drive. But after hooking up the old hard drive and rebooting, the only way i could gain access to the old hard drive was to re-install xp prof on there again. I chose not to overwrite the old drive's previous windows xp installation.
The files that i am trying to access belong to the administrator account from the previous installation of xp, the account was passworded. I can locate the user in 'All Users', but it wont let me access the files. Is there anyway i can gain access to these files?
