Guest

Hi,
I have a hard drive that have profiles and passwords. The drive needs
windows to be reinstalled because of a motherboard replacemnt. I have the
drive connected as a 2nd drive in my notebook via a usb cradle. I have setup
the profile and the same password to the first drive onto the second drive. I
can see the drive and folders but I get an error saying to see if it is
password protected. I need to get my pictures and files. I am logging into
the second pc with the same name and password but can't open ot move the
folders to the second pc.

Please also see the answers you got in the other newsgroup to which you
