I had a password on my username. XP Pro crashed so I had
to reinstall. I tried to repair and it didn't work so I
installed XP on another hard drive. I have my old drive
as a slave and am trying to access the files in my old
User directory but it won't give me access. Is there any
way I can get to these? I really need to get to my
Outlook Express messages.
Please e-mail me at (e-mail address removed)
