Hi,

Last week I found my hard drive quickly failing and I was too dumb to have
backups.
I went out & bought two hard drives. Installed one of the new ones as a
slave and copied everything on my failing C: to the new drive (F:).
I then replaced the failed C: with a new drive and installed windows xp home
on that one. Upgraded to SP2 and all the other updates that were suggested.

When I try to move the F:\my documents folder (this is the copy from the
failed drive) onto my new C: I get a "Can't access. Check if drive write
protected or full" error message. I can't open any of the documents or
pictures either. I can't copy them from the old F:\ my doc folder to any
other place on the F:. Basically I can't do anything with them but I'm not
convinced they're corrupted. I think it has something to do with being in My
docs and the fact that I no longer boot windows from that drive.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Brian
