Hi,

I have Windows XP Home Edition. Recently, the HD on which
I had my os crashed and I got a new one.

Before the crash, I had put my profile, including the 'My
Documents' folder, on my other hard disk and and set it up
to be accessible only with my own user account.

I just got my new HD today and set it up exactly like my
other one (same password), but I can't access the 'My
Documents' folder, it says 'Access Denied'. Is there a
way to get my files back or did I just lose them?

Thanks in advance.
