Can not access folder on old harddrive

[cv643d]

Hi guys,

I have a couple of problems accessing content on my old hard drive from my old PC.

My old computer died so I bought a new one and installed a fresh installation of XP on a new harddrive. I have my old hard drive as a slave on my new computer but can not access a map that is in my documents as my old account was passworded.

I have right clicked on the map but can not find any security tab.

Can anyone help me getting access to my old map?

Thanks!

If this is XP Home, you may not have those tabs. You could always try setting up a user account with the same username and password, and then try again. That's worked for me in the past. I also avoid storing anything in the "My" folders, because if the documents are stored on a data drive, you don't have these problems.

If all else fails, and you can't take ownership of the directory either, you can always try something like BartPE to access and move the file(s).

booting in safe mode will give you the security tab so you can take ownership of the file/folders
