Hi,
This is my first post on this forum.
Basically my pc crashed bit time one day and i could not do anything with it. Even XP disc wouldnt do a repair on my hdd. It eventually allowed me to re-install windows on top of my crashed version.
This works great and have no problems with it.
except!.....When trying to access my old files that are still present on the hdd, it keeps denying me access. I cant even copy these files to another hdd. I have important work in these files but Xp says 'access denied' file may be in use by another program' or words to that effect.
I have tried to access the files through command prompt but still same answer!
How can i remove the top version of xp so i can try and access the files again? Any help will be greatly appreciated guys.
Sorry for the essay!
Cheers,
Dan
