use a file synchronizer. check www.download.com and get one and sync the the folders... i don't think it matters and it happened like that wiht me before... there should be a securtiy tab or something when you right click the folders though...

Try to take ownership of the folders. The problem is the SID is different on the backed up folders then the new folders.

If you encrypted those files using XP EFS it think you are screwed! The whole idea of encrypting the files is so that no one else can read them if the HD was stolen or someone got illegal access to your pc. I believe that when you install/reinstall new public key is generated for each installation. Being you encrypted you files with one key (previous install) and then reinstalled XP a new key is generated which isn't the same key that the files were initially encrypted with so now you cannot decrypt your files.

How to take ownership

SID is Security Identifier.
