accessing files on a previous hard disk?
Discussion
Hi All.
Hope this is fairly simple stuff to someone, as it's annoying me senseless.
Basically I've got a hard disk from a long since deceased laptop which is working tickety boo. I've got a lot of stuff I'd like to keep on the HDD, so I'm attempting to copy it over to the PC via a caddy type affair.
Plugged it all in and everything is fine, though whenever I go to the "my documents folder" (on the laptop hdd not pc, has a windows install on) it says access is denied.
Am I right in assuming this is because of some form of password protection on my old install?
Whatever it is can someone point me into the right direction as it's pretty important that I get the stuff soonish as I'm trying to help a mate by giving him the drive for his laptop once I've retrieved my wares.
Cheers,
Stu.
