I need to format my hard drive currently, however I still
need to recover some files. I took my hard drive out, and
put it in a separate computer as a secondary hard drive.
The files I wish to copy are in the Documents and
Settings folder, but the user account has a password and
I am unable to copy them, access is denied. What can I do
to gain access to my files?
 
you have to take over ownership of those files/folders byt go to security
tab, click on advanced button and click over to Owner tab. select
administrators and click ok
