retrieving profile after XP recovery

[Guest jamatthebeach]

I just had to preform a OS only restore and have lost access to my original

account. I can view it by going to "Explore all users" and all of my data is

still intact, but the profile doesnt register through the normal "user

accounts" applications. The biggest problem is that all of my data (on both

hard drives) has become unaccessable. When I try to open the folders I get

an "access is denied" message. I have tried creating a new account and

changing the path to reflect the location of the old profile, but it doesnt

work. Any help would be greatly apprieciated!
