MMmk. When I tried to quick upgrade my version of Windows XP, From XP...
I got to the second last point of upgrade and it gets to 39 mins left. Then 37 on to 34 then reboots. What the hech is happening?? BTW I'm posting from school that's why the ip is different.

It doesn't matter I figured it out... Thoguh I formatted my HDD and lost my music .

Okay I have:
Internet(Obviously)
Antivirus
Adaware SE/Spybot
Drivers for hardware.

Have I forgotten to install anything?

you should backup all your data needs on to the cd before you format the c:/ drive!

Yes. Now I have a folder from my old acount in C:\Documents And Settings\<insert old user name here>

How do I gain access to it? When I try to do anything to it I get the Access denied message ::EDIT::Even in safe mode. It is taking up space on my HDD:/ And it also has alot of music. Some of which I forgot to back up.

This is the message.
Cannot create or replace: **** access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write protected.

Nevermind I got it...
How-to for anyone with same problem:
=SAFEMODE=
Right click the folder you want access to.
Security Tab
Click the add button in the first section.
Type your user name in specified field.
There is another method which I will post in around 11hrs time When I get home.
