Damien;
It is a simple Ownership issue as Nicholas suggests.
Same name and password will not help.
Since the files were private, that also means NTFS was used.
Since NTFS was used, installing the drive in a Windows 9x computer
would accomplish nothing.
Generally you do not bypass one security feature with a lesser
security or in the case of Windows 9x, no security.
