    Hi all,

    I just repartitioned my E: drive to make room for the partition. Now I can't boot into my Vista RC2. :( All the files are there. I can access everything but the Documents and Settings folder. I need to get to files on my desktop on the E: drive (where Vista is located). No matter what I try, it always says "Access denied ". Is there ANY way to get access to the desktop and move some files over to my C: drive?

    Thanks for helping!!!

    Documents and Settings is no longer a folder in Vista. It's a junction to ensure that older programs which use it, get pointed to the new \Users\username folder, where you data is stored.
