I am trying to access data from a previous user partition that no longer
exists due to the system being reset. All data still exists but I cannot gain
access, the windows help file directs me to tabs that do not exist. Please
help as my son has lost his last six months documents

If you have XP Pro, open Control Panel> Folder Options. On the View page,
uncheck the box for "simple file sharing." Then go back to the directions
you found in the Windows help file. The missing tabs will be present.

If you have XP Pro, you will need to boot to Safe Mode and log on with an
account in the administrative group. Then check the folder properties as in
the above steps.
