I had a windows XP Pro SP2 machine with 2 HDDs. the first one had OS and the second one had data.
The computer died, hence took the data drive and put in as secondary drive in a newer computer. It now says...74 GB available out of 160 GB, but I get a "access denied" error when I try to browse the drive. It was formatted in NTFS. The newer machine is also XP SP2 and I have admin privileges.
I get the same thing when I put the data drive in a USB encolsure.
Can somebody help me get my data?
