Default Denied Permission to windows.old files! PLEASE HELP!

When I try to access my documents in windows.old (to copy to Vista my
documents) I get the message:
"You have been denied premission to access this folder"
so I click the security tab and get
"The requested information is either unavaiable or cannot be displayed"
I am using the administrator account!

I got a similar problem upgrading from RC1 to 2. I can not access my docs
music stuff, after a reboot problem was gone.

Did you by any chance have a Password protection on your old windows install?
I dont know about Vista but when I did a: 1: Install Upgrade from ME to XP i
had the same problem, it was my password. 2: Reinstalling Windows XP. That
might help some of the more experienced guys if you did or didnt have a
password.
