I buidlt my computer but and a new hard drive. So presently on my computer I have 2 hard drives. My problem is i hooked up my old hard drive to try and get some of my old stuff but when i go to "my documents" it tells me access is denied. My old hard drive used to be my master drive and i had a password on it.
How do i access this folder and get all my files and photos that i know are tsill in there?

Thank you for the help.

Using XP Home you will need to boot to safe mode.

Browse to the folder.
Right click.
Properties.
security tab.
Advanced
ownership tab
Take ownership.

If at first you dont fix it, Try harder!
