   I had a major problem with XP yesterday and couldn't recover so had to   
   reinstall.   
      
   I decided to install a new hard drive put XP on it and then connect my old   
   hard drive as a slave, by doing this I though I could just copy over   
   information from my old hard drive to my new one such a my documents etc but   
   when I click on my name in Documents and Settings and then my documents it   
   says access denied.  I did have to log in on my old setup so assume this is   
   something to do with it but how do I access my old hard drives documents and   
   stop it saying access denied? How can this old slave drive be protected, is   
   my new version of windows on my new drive doing this?   
      
   One more thing please, I use Outlook Express and was hoping I would recover   
   at least my email address book and copy it over but where is it kept? I also   
   have loads of 'saved' emails is there anyway I can copy these over to   
   outlook Express on my new drive?  I tried running OE from my old drive but   
   it just opens up the newly installed version for some reason?   
      
   Guys I am pulling my hair out here, I guess many of you know what a   
   nightmare a new install is and I was so hoping to recover my old documents   
   by doing this.   
      
   Any help would be really appreciated.   
      
   Thanks   
      
   Graham.   
      
   P.S. I have cross posted this to two other groups, sorry but I am desperate   
   for help to get into my old documents.   
      
   P.P.S How do I turn off the annoying error bleep coming from my PC base, it   
   didn't do it before?
