[help] System Crashed. Files In Disk, Help!

ok, here's the situation. i have two computers, and three hard disks. i am only using one computer and one hard disk, and i uninstalled flyakite, and i can't get into windows xp anymore. i can't get into safe mode already, and i repaired the instalation twice. so, i use my other comptuer and use my broken harddrive as a slave, and i copy my files over, and back up my files before i reset the whole ugly old harddrive. it worked fine, i can access all the files, except the my documents on the old comptuer. how do i get past that?

just to make sure i got this right, your description was a little confusing... you have 1 computer that's booting fine? take the h.d. off the computer you want to take the documents from and make that the slave to the good computer. copy all of the documents to the good computer then put the h.d. back and format it... reinstall windows on it.

The problem he's having is that the MyDocuments folder is locked.
