ok... I got a new hard drive. Made my old HD a slave to the new HD, installed XP onto the new HD, went to my computer, and copied everything from the old HD I wanted. But there is one folder I need and I can't get - My Documents. Because the old HD had XP and my user account on there, it won't let me take the My Documents folder from that user account (I'm guessing because I'm not accessing it through the OS on THAT HD).. it says Access Denied.
Well I tried booting from the old HD but about 1 second after it goes into the initial XP Loading screen, it cuts to a blue screen saying that there is some problem and that you should check for errors on the disk... Is the OS broken or something?
I used the XP installer to go to the recovery consol on that hard drive... and used the DSKCHK feature and it said it found problems but didn't tell me what they were. I just don't get how the OS got messed up on that old HD...
I NEED that my documents folder.
