I needed more space. Bought a sata 120 gig hd. Decided to in stall xp on it.
Worked OK. Decided to get my files for my docs from old 40 gig ide hard
drive. Get message acess denied no root licence;. I realyy need these docs.
tried booting with old ide disk, same problem (switched first boot device in
bios). Tried sharing old hard drive , no good. Old my docs was pass word and
private. New log on on new HD is exactly the same including pass word.

Get message acess denied no root licence should read Get message acess denied
no root certificate
