old Hard drive data

Comment:

I am trying to get my data from my old IDE hard drives. I purchased a IDE to USB connector. Everything works fine and I can see the drives but it says read only and I cannot copy them. Thank You

Does the message indeed say "Read Only", or are you getting an "Access Denied" message? "So won’t you give this man his wings What a shame To have to beg you to see We’re not all the same What a shame" - Shinedown
