    I had two hard drives with 2 OS' installed on them; Win98
    and WinXP. I formatted the old one running 98 with the
    intention of logging back onto XP and transferring
    important files across. But it wouldn't boot XP after
    that so i had to install XP onto the old hard drive, and
    reinstall it onto the one that already had XP to begin
    with.
    I was able to access the files on the new hard drive then
    except my documents, as they were private folders. I
    can't log onto my old acc though because it's gone due to
    te re-installation. Does anyone have any idea how i can
    access my documents?
    it's very important, there are some very valuable
    documents to me in there and i really need them back.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    (Basically, i need a way to remove privatisation on the
    foldes.)
