how to change the attrib of the directory of my documents

[Xiaobo]

hi all,

I got a big problem here, I choose to set "my documents", the
directory and all the sub-dir and files to be private, and now my
windowsxp corrupted and can't
boot any more, so I took off the hard drive and took to another
computer and
tried to copy out the files under "my documents" directory, always got
the same
message "access denied", I tried to change the attrib of the
directory, both by
windows and dos, all failed...


could somebody help me? there are important files inside the directory
that I
need to copy out...

the direcotry path should be this one:
c:\documents and settings\ripplelet(username)\my documents

Thanks a lot~!!!
