As some of you may know, I could not access the files on my old laptop hard
drive. Someone reputable managed to get my drive to spin, so I could recover
my data. The replacement drive Dell sent me is currently situated in my Dell
Latitude D505 (running Windows XP Home). I have managed to access some
files, but there are others in a folder which I cannot. I keep receiving the
following message: "E://***** is not accessible. Access is denied". It is E
drive because it is attached via USB. I tried changing my BIOS boot menu to
run the old drive, but it kept booting to the new one. Any suggestions on
how I can access the files will be appreciated. I'm thinking, as a last
resort, to take out the new drive, replace it with the old drive, boot to
that, copy the files to USB, remove the old drive, replace it with the new
drive. I am going to see the recovery technician later today, so any
suggestions before that would be helpful. I know about accessing the folder
via Safe Mode, changing the folder settings.
Thanks
