So I came home yesterday, to find my computer turned off(I keep it on all the time). I restart it and it says that Windows cannot boot because one of the system files is missing and to insert the setup disk and press "r". So I followed the instructions but it still did not work. Then a friend told me to reinstall windows xp and it will fix the problems and keep all my old files and settings. I reinstall windows.
However, it set up a whole new account and I am unable to access my old account anymore. So Windows XP boots up, but I cannot access my old programs anymore. I know that my old account still exists, because I saw the folder for it on My Computer, under My Documents.
Does anyone know, how I can access my old account, settings, programs. Please help.
Oh and I have winxp professional. I don't know if that will help, but thank you.
