a) from my point of view, and judging your proficiency, it'sd probably be faster & easier to format and reinstall windows
(if you have or can get installations CD's/files for all your programs, that is..)

Unfortunatelly, I agree with whocares  :'(

i format and reinstalled everything on C:\ and Windows etc.  :)

But i had 2 problems....
- I had no internet
- I cant acces the folder 'my documents'
 (which wasn't on drive c:\)

it took me 2 days to find the right drivers for internet!!!  >:(

That leaves me with one more problem!
the folder 'My documents'
30 gb with important files (school, naruto  ;D etc)
no acces at all.....

I tried everything
I even installed win 98, just to find out it couldnt detect the file at all  :-\
I got win xp back...and it's still sayin'acces denied.
so theres a blindspot of 30 gb on ma pc..... :'(

How can there be data if you formatted the system? Did you put it there after the installation of XP? If not, there will be no data or you didn't format.


Login as administrator. (INFO) Than you should be able to access the folder. You may have to take ownership of the folder before you can (INFO) If you need to take ownership of a file, look HERE

When you have regain access to the folder, check the permision and make changes to them if you want.

Don't confuse a user with admin rights with the real administrator account ;)
