XP folders "not accessible Access is denied"

[Gary Norton]

A full back up was performed 2 days ago on a computer
where the user had a password.

On reboot, the computer stops at the manufacturer splash
screen and the hard drive light stays on with no
flickering. Can't access to BIOS or Safe Mode.

I put that hard drive into another XP computer as a slave
so I could recover the latest files. Trying to open the
subfolders results in the error message:

[Pathname/FolderName] is not accessible.
Access is denied.

I've created the user name on the second computer and
tried accessing the folders with AND without the user
having a password and still get the same message.

Neither the first or second computer were set to NTFS and
neither computer uses encryption of the folders.

Help.

Have a look at this article -

It explains how to take ownership of folders.
