Hope someone can help...

I have added a new hard drive and installed xp home
again, starting from scratch due to a problem that
corrupted my memory and would not allow me to start xp.

I was told to then migrate my files from the old C to the
new D drive, however, my user screen had a password set
up, and now all attempts to cut, copy or drag and drop
have been met with 'Access denied'

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Dean.
