>I am having the same problem on my hard drive. I can't
access "My Documents" at all. I tried to reinstall
Windows XP over the existing XP installation however,
this did not work and now my other programs wont run. I
just want to get access to My Documents so I can copy it
to backup then Format the whole drive. I've been working
on this problem for at least 3 weeks now. It all started
when I updated my NVIDIA video drivers. My computer
would no longer boot - It would just hang. I've put in a
new HD and used "Copy Commander" to duplicate the drive
just in case my efforts at reinstalling failed.
Thanks in Advance!
