Retrieving files in my documents from slave drive.

[Bret]

I had a hard drive failure which made it impossible to
boot my computer. I removed the hard drive and installed
it on another computer as a slave drive in order to access
the files on it. I had no problem and this worked great
until I needed something I had saved in "My Documents". I
am not able to access the "My Documents" for the slave
drive only the master. Anyway to get around this? All of
my photo's were in the My Documents folder.

Follow the article carefully.
You mmust be NTFS and not FAT32.

Windows XP Home--you must boot to Safe Mode to access the Security
tab.
Windows XP Pro--you must Disable Simple File Sharing:
