I intended to install Windows XP Pro X64 Edition on a separate HDD on my
system which was running XP Pro SP2. The install did not go according to
plan with the end result is that I am now running with the X64 Edition.
Therein my problem is that I am unable to gain access to my files and e-mail
under the old version which is still showing available on the system but
appears to be security locked. Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted
in order that I can retrieve these files/e-mails.
