hdd in cradle unable to access

05-22-2008, 03:45 AM

Hi,
My hdd crashed and I am able to see my profiles but can't access the folders
with the drive in a usb cradle. I have passwords on 3 profiles on the old
drive all are mine but I can't get to the files to transfer them to the new
drive. It says access is denied.

It may be a case of 'taking ownership' see win help

Thanks, I am actually at work right now. I am using home edition and see I
need to boot to safe mode admin account to change rights. Can that be done
with a usb cradle? Will the drivers be loaded?
Thanks,
John
