I try to access my old XP disk from a new XP PC (as my old video card died)

Using the same username on both PCs really doesn't mean anything to the
computers. User account login names are nothing more than conveniences
for us carbon-based life forms - the computer actually uses the Security
Identifier (SID) for authentication, and each SID is unique, even if the
two accounts have the same login name.
I can access all folders and files of the external disk except "f:\Documents
and Settings\admin" which is precisely the one I need.
If you hadn't encrypted the data files (and marking a folder
private is something completely different from encryption), you may be
facing nothing more than a simple permissions issue. Have you tried
taking ownership of the old folders?
