One of my PCs has crashed - won't even turn on. Took the hard drive out and put it in a external drive caddy and connected it to another PC to get data from it.
The drive is OK, I could see all the folders. Copied the Shared Docs easily but I wanted data from the two User accounts that were set up on the old machine. When I try to copy the User folders over to the new machine I get an "Access denied" box. I assume this is because the folders in the individual User accounts were not shared when the drive was in the old machine.
One of these User folders is mine and I use the same name for my user account on the new machine, but still I can't get to the data in it.
Is there a way around this, or are the files in the User accounts of this hard drive loss for ever?
TIA
