Please help!
A month ago I discovered a minor virus on my system and following Symantec directions was removing it. When I went to put the computer into Safe Mode though, the windows install of XP Pro completely crashed. I tried to repair the install using the discs, but it turned out that my brother (who originally set up the system 1.5 years ago) had forgotten what administrator password he'd used to install it. So instead I did a parallel install of XP Pro on my second harddrive. That install works fine and I haven't lost any of the data on my system.
The original C: drive install had two profiles on it (and were password protected, but I know both passwords), and I can access the My Documents data for one of them, but not for the other. So here's the problem, all of my personal files which I really need are in the second My Documents folder. When I try to access it through the D: drive Windows install it just says it's not accessible and that access is denied.
If anyone can help I'd be very grateful.
Thanks!
