We had a machine that was having some boot up issues (Most likely due to improper driver update(s) and perhaps some corrupted XP system files) – The drive was taken out and a new HD installed then a full XP pro Install, from scratch, was preformed. The ‘old HD’ was installed as a ‘slave’ drive and the important data was retrieved; except for……
And here the problem lies:
The ‘old drive’ was setup as with two partitions: A ‘Boot’ partition & a ‘Data’ partition. The ‘My documents’ folder was allocated to the ‘data’ partition. There were two users assigned to this station: An administrator and a Guest account. The Admin account had made his my documents folder ‘private’ and now when accessing the drive as a slave any attempts to open this folder results in an ‘access denied’ error. There is a considerable amount of data in this folder we need to recover.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated 🙂
Thank you in advance
