    user profiles


    Hi

    as per my previous thread before attempting an over install because my PC would not boot I removed the hard drive and hung it as a sata slave on my othe PC to check the Data was there.

    Windows directory is shown as are program files etc

    However the users directory is 834mb in size ( right click proporties)

    It contains three directories

    User -19.4mb in size
    Public - 833mb
    and Ian ( my profile) which is zero bytes

    I've run an undelete program and it finds none of my documents or pictures

    Any ideas anyone or have I lost it all

    thanks

    Ian

    You have to take ownership and alter the permissions of your profile directory. Explorer does not and cannot get the file size of files it does not have permission to read.
