Hi All.

My mates PC won't get past the F8 screen on bootup. It' keeps resetting. He's also (as you do) misplaced his copy of XP home so I can't try a repair (or can I do that with my Pro version?).

Anyway, I have his old hard disk in my machine via a portable enclosure and a USB cable. I can see all the files and the disk appears to be operating normally. Alas, he has a password on his docs and settings and I can't seem to access them. As usual, he didn't back them up.

Any help gratefulyl received :D
 
I'm not seeing that option in the menu's at the minute. My account is an admin account. Do I need to be in the master admisitrators account? Does it not work with USB drives? Shoudl I install it into my machine directly?
