My system on HD1 is kinda broken so I borrowed anther PC in hope to retrive some documents I placed on the desktop (I should never do this again!) -- however, I cannot find those documents. Anybody wanna gimme a hand?

I use the HD1 in a external case, and I've found the 'user' fold, however, I cannot get accessed into the sub-fold with my username. I also checked the public folds, nothing I am looking for were there.

What happens when you try to access it?

you need to take ownership of the user account folder.
