I think you can just switch the name on the profile back to Owner. I did that, then switched Owner back to my name. At least, I think I did that. I know I’m using my name at the login screen and the owner’s documents. But I guess I didn’t do a reinstall.

Anyway, that was the geekingest, saddest narrative. Also, I can’t believe it’s been that long since you built all those computers for CRAC.

HAHA! Sounds like you built the computers for crack!

I think I may have been unclear there. When I started the new install the first time, I needed to input a user name (which might have to do with the swtich from XP to XP Pro). On my old system I was just ‘owner’. Now, I have a name. So, the ‘my documents’ I was looking at was within that profile. All of the documents I was looking for were within the ‘owner’ profile (which is a profile that can not be logged into). So, I had to dig manually though the hdd, which caused its own problem. “My Documents” is actually “Owner Documents” (seriously, the file folder is labeled “Owner Documents” but you open it and its suddenly called “My Documents”).

I am not sure that my new board takes PCIe but I hope it does. And I will be looking for a Serial ATA drive.

How did the freshly installed windowsXP hide data from the previous version windows on your computer?

You should shop for a pcie video card and a sata hard drive.

I’ll look forward to the package. thanks.
