My windows install went bad, reinstalled on new hd and thought I'd harvest old files, but my outlook .pst and desktop folders are non-accessible from this new windows installation? Help? Anyone know a work around or how to gain access permissions again?

why did you put 2 windows on your computer, you should have formated all drives then reinstalled, thats the point of reinstalling...

As you re-install Windows, your former installation goes into a file called "old windows" and certain folders are accessible but not all

You need to take ownership of the folders.

This only works if you did NOT encrypt the files and folders.
