I recently installed a new Hard drive. It was time
reinstall windows any how so I just put the new drive in
and thought I would just transfer over everything I had
saved in "my documents". Now I can't access the folder,
I have tried Sharing which fails, I have tried the cacls,
and attrib commands with no luck. I am using win XP home
SP1. I deleted the old windows directory so there is no
going back to the old drive under that install of
windows. Any Idea? Please reply via email.
