OS: Windows XP Proffesional
My original plan was to install Linux on another partition on my computer. Creating the new partition went fine, but when I used the new one as the active partition, Linux wouldn't install correctly and I had to restart the computer.
Then I got an "operating system could not load correctly" error message so I had to install Windows a few times until I got where I am now.
Everything on my computer works fine, except when I try to access the documents from my old Windows installation.
The exact folder I'm trying to access is at the path C:\Documents and Settings\Daniel (Daniel was the name of my old account). I get the error message "C:\Documents and Settings\Daniel is not accessible. Access is denied."
Does anyone know how I can get into this folder, or at least how can I get my files out of it? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
