Post by thetatteredcrow »

OK I had to reinstall windows xp over itself because of some kind of missing files. Now I can get into windows, but my old files and photos and in a zipped file called Owner and my access is denied. I need those files. Please tell me if there is any hope of recovery. :roll: Thank you kindley, Lora

In administrator mode, right click on the folders, change the permissions to allow all. You should now be able to access.
If I could remember all I have forgotten, I would be a smart man.
