After my motherboard went out, a computer repair center will be replacing the board and reinstalling Windows XP for me. In order to back up my recent data that had not been backed up, I connected my hard drive to another computer using an IDE USB adaptoer to recover my recent documents before the repair center reinstalls Windows. Although I could copy the Shared Documents under Documents and Settings, Windows will not allow me to copy protected users’document files under Documents. Is there a work around for this?
