Trying to retrieve my documents from a laptop's hard drive
I'm in dire need of some help or suggestions. I have a Presario V2000 laptop that crashed on my last week. According to some discussions I found here and a good friend of mine who knows quite a bit about computers, it's the motherboard. Since I didn't have a backup of my hard drive, I pulled the hard drive out and used a USB adapter to use the laptop's hard drive as an external hard drive and pull my music, pics, documents, etc. out of it. The problem I'm having is that I can access and copy/delete/move everyone else's (other users) stuff out of the hard drive onto my desktop computer, except for mine! (the main user of this laptop). It tells me that my folder is a 'read-only' type of folder and I can't access it. I've tried changing this setting from the administrator folder (so it can apply to all users and subfolders) but I had no luck. Any thoughts???
