What is the error message you get when you try to boot?

Have you tried using a Live CD to see if you can access the documents that way ?

there's no error. it wont just boot. when i click user account it would shutdown. so I installed an OS in the 2nd partition. how do i access the accounts in the old partition. there's no way i can boot in the old partition.

thanks

So no, it's not going to happen unless you somehow repair the old installation of xp.
