Answer» The power supply in my old Windows XP computer went out, so I bought a new lap-top with the Vista OS.
I want to access the data from the old hard drive, and bought a case that provides power and a USB connection, thinking I could use it as an external drive on my new lap-top.
I've run into an ENDLESS series of problems in getting "permissions" to to access the data on the old drive. I've been successful in opening some individual documents, but can't copy or MOVE whole sub-dierectories. I'd like to move lots of PICTURES and music to the lap-top in an efficeint manner. I don't have the time to do it individual FILE by individule file.
Is there any way I can give mself "permission" to access all of the data on the my old drive?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!
Travel Here...In your case I would take ownership at the root of the drive and let the change propagate from there through the whole drive.
