Hello,
Here is my scenerio.
My computer died (which used XP), so I'm using another computer (that uses
XP) until I get it fixed. I run a small business and there are folders I
need from desktop of the old computer. I've taken the hard drive out, put it
into my new pc and saved shared files that I needed, however I am not able to
access my desktop from the old hard drive. It says "access denied". I'm
wondering if it's because I had a password on that user.
So to confirm... I put the old hard drive in the new pc, I was able to copy
most files/folder I needed, however am not able to access a few that were
saved on my desktop. With the hard drive connected to my new pc, am I able
to remove the user account password... or does the fact that it denies access
mean the folders are now corrupt?
I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice...
Thanks,
Laura
