Error - View Single Post - Unable to access files after moving hard drive to new machine

**Iphone** · 17-Apr-2007, 05:50 AM

I had an old pc running XP professional and it died (power supply). I needed to get some of the files off of the old hard drive, so I put the hard drive into an external drive bay and plugged it into the Firewire port and it becomes drive J on my new PC that is running XP media.

The problem that I am having is that I can not access J:\Documents and Settings\joseph\My Documents - iI get a cannot access file error and I do not know where to look to correct this. All other directories are accessible, even other directories under the documents and settings.
