After my C: drive became unbootable I replaced it, but
now I'm locked out of my documents and settings folder
from the old drive. I want to import the contents to the
new drive, and although I was the administrator on the
drive I can't get in. Is there way to get prompted for
the administrator password on the old drive so I can get
full access?

TIA
