slave hard drive

tom thumb

i installed an old harddrive as a slave drive in my new computer both new and old harddrives ran xp. it recognises the harddrive i can even go into it and look through the folders but when i go to look in documents and settings and look in the folder where i stored everything it says access denied.
Can anyone help, really need to get information off the harddrive.

when you are in security click Advanced, in permissions tab, click on Add, once the menu pops up, click Advanced, then click Find now, choose your username, click OK, your username will appear, double click on it, tick all the boxes allow, then tick Replace permission entries on all child.......... and click ok

should work now
