I formated my hard drive C and reloaded Windows XP home
version. However, I forgot to retrieve the contents in
<My Documents> folder saved on Drive D (same physical
hard drive but partitioned done with Partition Magic 7.0)
before formating. All my drive is converted to NTFS and I
set <My Documents> folder to 'private'!

Now I am not able to access to that old folder left on D
after I open <Documents and Settings> and <Username>
folders. The message says: D:\Documents and
Settings\Username\My Documents is not accessible. Access
is denied.

I tried to recovert file system back to FAT32 from NTFS
but this is not allowed once NTFS convertion is done to
the hard drive.

I wonder if anyone who knows how to deal with this
situation can kindly help me out to open that folder
allowing me to retrieve all the contents that I have
saved in last two years!! Any suggestion is highly
appreciated very much.

My e-mail address is: family40s@yahoo.com
