Tempest Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 I had a problem with my hard drive booting, bought a new drive and installed XP Professional on the new drive. I managed to get access to my old drive while logged in under the same name and password on the new drive, but I can't get access to my personal folder inside 'Documents and Settings'. I know this is protected, but is there any way I can get access to this folder. When I try to open it, I get an 'Access Denied' message. Any help is greatly appreciated. I got the new drive because the old one was 'starting to go'. Thanks! DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

othernutrient Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Take ownership of the folder through the folder security tab's advanced security options, and you should have access to the data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
