    “Access Denied” Message

    Locked

    by lm255 ·

    My old laptop MB failed. Purchased new laptop. I’m trying to retrieve files from old hard drive but receive “Access Denied”. I named the new laptop the same as the old. I have tried to “take possesion” of the drive & files but can’t. Is there software available to unlock the hard drive?

      I think you have ntfs partition on old hdd and you haven’t got the right permission.
      You must change security settings for everyone to full control or add an user with full control rights.
