Accessing owner folder on external drive

D

Deb Borys

The system board went dead on my desk top so I turned the hard drive into an
external drive intending to access the files on it from my laptop computer.
Both computers were XP SP2. The files I need are in the Owner folder under
Documents and Settings, but it will not give me access to the folder. Is
there a way to sign in my password as owner on this exernal drive so that it
will let me access everything I could when it was the main drive in my
computer?

Thanks for your help.
