A friend of mines computer crashed. I basically have to reinstall
the O/S on it. However, he has roughly 30GB worth of music on his
drive. I know reinstalling and not formatting the drive shouldn't
erase this, but I don't want to take a chance. So, I put in his
drive as a slave and was planning on copying his files to my HD
temporarily as a backup. The problem is this that there are 3
profiles on the drive, two of them I am able to get to (able to
copy "user's pictures", "users documents"). Unfortunately, I can't
get to my friends documents folder where all his music is stored.
It keeps giving me access denied to this. I tried everything that
I can think of and so I'm asking you. I believe he is an Admin on
the computer and the others aren't so that may explain why I can
see the other's files. My computer is running XP Pro SP2. The
slave drive, I believe, is windows XP Home SP2. I know in W2K3 I'm
able to "take ownership" of files, but that's a server. Hoping
something similar can be done here.
Should of Googled with what you 'knew'. *grin*
