    Hard drive from Crashed Laptop Question

    I ordered the Multi Drive Cable from New Egg. I connect the Old drive to the cable it lights right up I can see everything on the Drive. I know the Name of the old computer and I know the Password to the Admin...... Problem is It wont let me copy the Admin user files off on to another drive or disk? Anyone know what steps I have to take or a Program I have to use to recover the mailing lists and Invoices I have on this unit? I am at a loss here...... I know the password! It just never asks for it or anything......

    GRRRR I am not helpless but this is making me feel as I am!

    Excuse me while i do something dangerous


    You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

    Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

      Also, you may have to take ownership of the files on the computer you are using to recover them.

          Yep - load up a Ubuntu live CD and rip the files straight off. Quicker than taking permissions in my experience.

              Ubuntu is a distribution (distro) of Linux. It's the most popular, but just about any Linux distro would work fine. I often use OpenSUSE for this kind of thing.

              As I said earlier, you could change the ownership settings from within Windows, but you will not be able to copy them straight off, as someone must have put some strict security settings on those files.
