i have recently installed a new version of xp pro and installed it as a new os. but when i try to acces the data from my ole user account it tells me that the access is denied. this would not be a problem if i didnt put a password on the account before i installed the new os. which i belive is why it will not let me in, this theory is because i am able to access all the other users data. this is a problem because i am now in the situation where i have a new windows and no data and no programs and i have used up all my hdd space on the old user (which i cannot access to delete or move the files) so have no space left for the new user.
this is a strange problem that i am sure i have caused somwhere alng the installation process but i have backed up the data on an ext.drive but have no space on the hdd to move it back into. but i would be happy enough to just wipe the hdd clean of all its data, but when i try to format it, the machine tells me that my acces is denied.
any help you could offer would be very much useful.
thank you very much.
