My XP HE machine kept restarting itself after shutdown; my roommate did several hard shutdowns during boot process. Maybe related, I dunno

My main profile is now corrupt. Files are inaccessible, access is denied, even via CMD prompt or other admin account. I have tried taking ownership (no security tab), cacls (not sure I understand this), copying profile

Friend suggested that I move the hard drive to another machine and slave it for file access
(1) will this work
(2) any other alternatives that don't mean taking my computer apart

Thank you..not sure why this is not posting, but this is my third attempt to post to the newsgroup.
