How big is C, how big is H?

What's in H?

C Drive has 718 MB out of 69GB and H Drive has 3.82GB out of 5.51 GB ... about what it was before all the problems started.

718 free. I don't think I told you that I'm currently working out of XP professional. When I installed XP Pro it created a new partition (partition 2) and XP Home is partition 1 ... maybe that's why I didn't see the desktop files from XP Home?

Hi All,

Sorry, my mistake. I did misquote myself. I'm currently running XP Pro so I guess that means I'm in partition 1. Would that be why I can't see desktop files from the other partition when I go to "My Computer, Tools"?

Whenever I try to log into XP Home I just get a black screen. Safe Mode maybe?

C Drive has 718 MB out of 69GB

Open the Documents and Settings folder

Look for a larger user folder(named for your old login?) right click properties

Inside that folder should be a folder called desktop

If you can't access please write down the message

When I hover over it it says the folder is empty. When I double click on it it says: "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner is not accessible. Access is denied." Right-clicking simply shows the folder has 0 bytes.
