How to acces...

[Overkill-X]

The problem is as follows: I built a new machine, with a new main drive. So i figured, might aswell keep all the stuff on the "old" hdd and connect it to have a secondary hdd. Problem is that i cant access the data thats in my "user" map from the old drive. (Since it was password protected ----> windows login one)

So is there a way that i can type in the pass or something to acces the map?

You need to go into the security settings of the folders in question and take ownership. Googling "take ownership" or search on these forums will give you step by step guides.

You have to turn off Simple File Sharing first. Tools > Folder Options > View and uncheck SFS

I'll even be so nice as to search Microsoft.com for "take ownership xp" for you.
