Help!

Hey guys, just got a problem with one of my laptops having died, more specifically the backlight died. Regardless I took the hard drive out of laptop and put it into an external drive and now I cannot access my username to copy my important stuff off of there, is there a way to crack this? I unselected "Read-Only" but it had no effect.

G:\Documents and Settings\<name here> is not accessible.

That's the error message.

You have to take ownership of the folder before you can access the contents.

Right click the folder - Properties - Security - Click the advanced button - Owner tab - Select your user name from the list, place a check mark in the box to propagate to all sub-containers and objects - Click OK.

After that, you should have access to the folders contents.
