Well I recentlly had some problems with windows XP and in a
attempt not to loose all my documents in the my documents
folder installed windows in a different directory,
WINDOWS2. So now my system is running with two windows
installed. The one with all the files I want will not work
and the one without is working fine. But when I try to
access the files from the one that is working fine I get an
access denied message. So I tried going into safe mode and
logging in as an admin. but that got the same messages. So
do anyone know how I can get my files back so I can put
them on my back up drive, which I should have done in the
first place, and then restore it to factory settings so I
can start from scratch.
Thanks for any help.
