    I have an XP Pro PC that wouldn't boot. So I reinstalled the OS into a folder called WINDOWS1 which boots beautifully.

    Is there a way to get the old user profiles that still exist to be read under the new installation?

    For example, in the Documents & Settings folders is a folder called "All Users" and a folder called "WINDOWS1.All Users" can I just copy the All Users into WINDOWS1.All Users/
