hi
i have this problem

my windows xp crashed, so i bought another hdd and made it my ****** drive and installed xp on tht
i made my original drive my slave drive.

Now the problem i have is tht i cant access my user settings on my old hard drive, because maybe they had a password on them.

i didnt want to format my hdd, and i was planning to buy another hdd anyways, so i tried this idea because i wanted my files backed-up still

please help if u know what the problem could be

thx
