Access Denied

[Guest]

I reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition on my computer but before I did that I
copied my hard drive to an external hard drive. Now I want to get the file
Andrew Ho from the G:\Documents and Settings from the external hard drive but
whenever i click on it i get the error message "G:\Documents and
Settings\Andrew Ho is not accessible. Access Denied."

Is there a way I can access that folder?

I have a problem with some steps. First, there is no "Use simple file
sharing (Recommended)" under Advanced Settings for step 1c. Also there is no
Security tab when I click on Properties of the folder I want to open, theres
just a General, Sharing and Customize tabs.
