(Acces Denied) When accessing laptops HDD
Hey everyone,
I have a question to ask you all. My laptop recently fizzled out due to a power serge, luckely i could recover the HDD and connect it up for my PC (using the CD-ROM connection to the motherboard). When i tried acessing my files in the DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS folder, i was promted with an error message: "Access denied" This is probably due to XP's security on the laptops HDD right? Is there anyway to get around that, so i can pull my infomation of my laptop's hdd onto my PC's? Email: Thanks in advance Michael |

Take a look here for the procedu How to take ownership of a file or folder in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;308421 Note: If you are running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, you must start the computer in safe mode, and then log on with an account that has Administrative rights to have access to the Security tab. To start in Safe Mode, reboot your computer and start tapping the F8 key as soon as you see anything displayed on the screen. Keep hitting F8 until the Advanced Startup Options menu appears. Use the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard to select Safe Mode. Hit Enter. Good luck Nepatsfan |
