if you are booting from two different Windows XP partitions, you have to boot the copy of Windows that contains the files you want, copy them to some other drive, reboot to the copy of Windows XP where you want the new files, and then copy them over there. burning a CD will work.

I have installed windows xp home edition on the same partition (as windows2 folder). How do I access the files in my earlier windows folder (in the earlier xp installation).
I have a dell, p4 laptop, with windows xp home edition.
