Dear all...

Bought myself a new computer last week. I took out my entire 'old' harddisk,
and put this one in my new system.
No problems thus far; every folder is accessible,
except...................... E:\Documents and Settings\Daan.
(I used 2 accounts on XP: Daan and Guest. In the Daan folder, all my data is
stored: addressbooks/pictures/emails/etc)

When I click on the folder, XP-home sends me an on screen warning:
Protected folder, XS not allowed (something like that)

Is there any way to get my own data back??
Already tried something in safe-mode, nothing succeeded :-((

Thanks for any help,
Daan

You need to take ownership of the files:
