Unable to Access Folders!!

[Guest Asad Ul-Islam]

Dear all

 

I have had Windows XP with SP3. Recently i had a powerfailure which

resulted in improper shutdown. After that my windows got curropt and i had to

install it again. Now during reinstallation Windows (with Sp2) Run Checkdsk

on 2nd Partition. And found some index problems and gave messages like

"recovering orphan files etc".

 

Now after this fresh instllation I am not able to Access some of my Folders

in 2nd Drive. Windows is saying ACCESS DENIED. But i think there is data

present on those folders as my Antivirus software is able to SCAN those

folders and shows files in it while scanning.

 

Now HOw can i access those Folders??? Any ideas? I am sure data is present

on those folders.

 

Regards,

 

Asad.

you please with them.
