Hi,

Machine would not boot so I re-installed XP in a different directory, so I have 2 installations now, one that boots and one that does not.

Problem is that directory created under admin account in old XP is not accessible under new XP, although I can see directory name I cannot open it or copy it.

I need access to files in this directory.

Thanks in advance for suggestions/help.
