Hi, i've got a problem and this is my last resort. I had been using
Windows XP Proffesional Edition with Service Pack 2 on my computer.
There were some hardware problems so i installed Windows XP Home
Edition on it. THe problem is now i cannot locate my files from windows
xp pro. I did not do a clean installation, and my hard drive has the
same amount of space gone, meaning the files are there. i have tried
going to documents and settings to the folder, but the i keep getting
an "Access denied" error which is weird because i did not have a
password setting for the user name. Any help from any one would be
appreciated.
