Hi, I had the same error. Do you know where it originates?

I access my files by going to the old drive (or partiion) in this case the
C: drive and chosing >documents and settings>"my username_here" documents>my
documents

on my system though, my user is an administrator which could be why I did
not get stonewalled.
I had a spare hard drive and reinstalled xp there. That made finding it
easier! Did you create a partition or just install a second OS?
