Well.. this one has me worried. I’ve got about 6 gigs worth of important data in my My Docs folder, and last night after a reboot my XP installationd decided it didn’t like booting any more. So I booted off an ERD 2k recovery cd-rom and moved the folder to another name, then reinstalled XP. Now I can’t get to my files! They’re there, but I get Access Denied. The user had administrator priveledges (I believe) and I am trying to manipulate them logged in as a normal user but in the administrative group (does that mean the user has the same administrator powers?) help please! i gotta get my files back.. how do I gain access to them?
I already tried to xcopy a folder or two off of my recovery cd, and the data is intact but I don’t trust this xcopy executable to copy -every- file.
