I had an XP Pro system crash and I'm trying to retrieve the data by moving it to another system as an external USB drive. I can see all the data and access all folders except f:\documents and settings\%user profile%. &nbsp;When I double click that important folder, it says <br />
&quot;f:\documents and settings\%user profile% is not accessible. &nbsp;ACCESS DENIED.<br />
<br />
I have done this several times in the past with no problem. Why is this happening now and how can I overcome this so I can access her data?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

XP Pro Crash - Data Recovery

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.

Microsoft Legacy OS

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.

Operating Systems

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
