I cannot start up windows

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

You will need to install your programs onto your new system.
The user files should be in \documents and settings\username\my documents on
the old drive but you may need to "take ownership" to get into the folder.
Use the Help & Support and search for take ownership.

best of luck
