Okay, here's the problem. I was fooling around with the adding admins and removing admins, and somehow I had removed my own user account in XP. Problem is, is that I lost all of my music, huge amounts of source code, games, and other stuff in my folder. Sure, I can get it back, but WINDOWS now says the file is RESTRICTED, so I can't touch anything inside it. I've tried installing different linuxes, and I couldn't touch the drive because it was NTFS. I FIGURED I'd do it through DOS.

I made a bootable floppy, with FreeDOS on it (MS-DOS won't work), and put NTFS4DOS on it, and it BOOTS fine. I can get past the RESTRICTION, because it's not in Windows, but I realised that I would have to copy everything by hand (There's a lot of sub-folders). ROBOCOPY doesn't work for me, because it's a Windows application. Anyone have any ideas? :-?you can reset the admin password. There's a tool here at http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/
that should be able to help.Or you can boot using Bartpe:

Is totaly free

AlmnBartPE doesn't work, because it's still Windows. And I deleted the account itself. There is no listing of that account anywhere, but in Documents and Settings it still shows it's folder, but it's restricted. I am the admin on the computer. Thanks for your help.exactly that is my point that is why BartPe would work because it would let you access it through the file explorer.
