I had my hard drive removed because the mother board doesn't work anymore. It's now in an external housing case. I pluged it in to this computer and tried to access my files. All other folders and files are accessable, but when I go to Document and Settings - wizard (my account name) it says it is not accesable, access denied. I did have a password on that account. So that may be it. So now, how can I access my files in that folder?

Jump to PostAre both machines same operating system ?
Assuming they are then
If you log on to new machine as administrator then you should get access.
However you may need to take ownership, right click on folder and go to properties and if my memory serves me right …
Jump to PostIt may be looking for the adminstrator account from the other computer.
