Getting photo's from old hard drive

[Guest]

My daughter-in-law's computer quit working so she went and bought a new
laptop.
I took the hard drive out and installed it on my computer so I could at
least save all the pictures that she had on it.

The drive came up fine on my computer under "G" drive but it won't let me
get though the documents and setting to remove the photo's. When I click on
the user name folder, it says that access is denied.

Thanks for the help

You need to disable Simple File Sharing and take ownership of
the files. Take a look at these articles for more info:

Note: If you are running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, you
must start the computer in safe mode, and then log on with an
account that has Administrative rights to have access to the
Security tab. To start in Safe Mode, reboot your computer and
start tapping the F8 key as soon as you see anything displayed
on the screen. Keep hitting F8 until the Advanced Startup
Options menu appears. Use the up and down arrow keys on your
keyboard to select Safe Mode. Hit Enter.

Good luck
