Hello,
About 3 months ago, I bought a new laptop with Windows XP installed. I used it for a while, and coppied all my information over to it. About 1 month ago, it crashed, and I was no longer able to use windows, so I installed a fresh copy onto the hard drive in a dual-boot fashion. (So there was then 2 Operating systems installed..My new windows installation, and my old one which no longer booted) But when I went to copy the files over, I found that the dirrectory c:/Documents and settings/Joseph/, which was where all of my user data was located could not be accessed or coppied! When I navigate to that dirrectory and click on the folder It says "access is denied". I tried to copy it to another hard drive, but it said that it could not be coppied. When I roll over the folder icon, it says there are no folders in it (when, in fact, there are a lot of folders).
Does this have something to do with my user profile being password protected? Should I give up on recovering my files?
I would really appritiate any answers or speculation you can provide because I have some rather important data in that old profile. Thanks!
