Getting into a Vista directory from W2K?

[***** charles]

Hi all,

I removed a hd from a laptop that had Vista Basic on it.
I connected the hd to an old clone that I have that has
Windows 2000 Pro SP4 on it. The laptop hd is a SATA
and I have a SATA card in the clone. The driver loaded
just fine and I can see the two partitions on the laptop hd.
Problem is I need to drill down into My Documents on
the laptop hd to copy my documents off the thing. When
I click on the My Documents directory I get
F:\Documents and Settings is not accessable.
Access is denied.
I know there is stuff in there and that this is a permisions
problem but how do I take ownership of the directory
so I can read/copy the files I need?

thanks,
charles....

As long as encryption isn't involved as a local administrator you can take
ownership. Explorer|"folder"|File|Properties|Security|Advanced|Owner and
take ownership.

Hi Charles,

"Documents and Settings" doesn't really exist anymore on Vista (it's a
softlink, sort of like a shortcut), and Windows XP (and I'm assuming 2k)
does not recognize it and you will receive an access denied error. It now
points to a "Users" file, so you should find your files on
F:\Users\<username>
