My Laptop's Hard drive crapped out or something. Wouldn't boot XP. (Single flash of the infamous blue screen on boot, and then reboots again and again and again...) I took out the hard drive, and put it in an enclosure and took it to work to plug into my Office 2000 Computer. I can see all the folders on the drive and access almost all of them. But the one I want most of all, the Documents and Settings folder, is inaccessible. Is it because the laptop hard drive was OS'ed with XP Home and I could normally through XP access them through my personal XP login? Or is it some other reason. Either way, how do I gain access to this folder and it's subfolders? I have 385 pics of my kids I need to burn to cd before wiping the drive clean.

please respond to:
