Old hard drive problem

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if I could get your advice. My old laptop motherboard broke and I wanted to take the data off the old hard drive. I purchased a caddy and have it all up and running. The problem is I cannot find the profile I saved the files under. All my other user accounts are there except my password protected one. I have made the hidden folders visible but the profile still isn't showing.

    Any ideas?

    you need to take ownership of the files on the drive , right click and it's in security/properites
