I had an old pc running XP Prof with a 60 gb hard drive. I got a new
machine and installed XP on that. I attached the old hard drive as a
slave to the new machine using a usb enclosure. I can access almost all
the files except the files that i had created using two password
protected accounts. I have both the passwords but cannot get to those
accounts documents and settings folder. keep getting the denied access
error.

is there any way to get to those files without having to swap the
drives and writing the old files to a CD?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
