Windows 10: My Windows can't sign in & I can't access my C Drive files

For some reason, my Windows account isn't allowing me to sign in like usual. When I turn it on, I see the message 'We Can't Sign In to Your Account.' I read it and tried to sign out, but after three to four attempts, I decided to cancel instead. Another issue is that when my Windows starts up, all my software, account logins, and preferences on the main screen disappear, and even the theme I was using resets to factory settings. I tried restarting multiple times, but nothing changed; everything reverted to the default settings. Strangely, all the software I installed remains intact. My D and E

Accessing a Hard Drive...

...from a dead laptop.

My girlfriend's laptop recently s**t the bed, and she has a lot of photos she would like to retrieve from it. I used a USB to IDE cable to try, but it's a no go. Her drive has Windows XP Home on it, and my system has Win7 x64. The computer recognizes the drive, but it wants me to initialize it, which I think may format it.

I don't know if it's formatted FAT32 or NTFS. Are there any suggestions on accessing the drive to pull all this data off of it?
