Accessing files on a removed Hard Disk

[Guest]

Dear all,
My laptop (Windows XP Profesiona) broke down this afternoon and it is being
collected by the vendor to be fixed.
I removed the Hard Disk and used a USB Caddie to access the files on myother
computer (Windows XP Home Edition).
I see all the files except the personal files including emails.

Can you explain why and how I can get access to my files without having to
wait for weeks for the computer to be fixed and returned.

Regards,
Shah.

If its all on the other computer,why dont you start-up the computer and
access them.

Removing the HDD from your laptop will render any warranty null and void.

Do you have Explorer to see Hidden or System files? If not, enable it and
see if they show up. If it is enabled, possibly it is due to ownership -
you will have to take ownership of the folders.
