Windows Forum / Windows XP / Basics / May 2008help, access denied
I had a motherboard crash. Putting together a new machine. Inxtalled XP Pro on a new hard drive in the new machine. All fine. Then moved the old hard drive to the new machine with all the data and files. For some reason, I can't access some files I need. Like the database from Clipmate or any files under the identity of the administrator of the old machine, which is the same as the new one. Is there a way to get past whatever it is that's stopping me. The error is 'access denied,' etc........ Is there a hack that can get me into my own files??? I had stored passwords etc where i thought they would be safe, but with the motherboard dying, they are a lot safer than I needed.........Appreciate any suggestions......thanks.. You're trying to access your old account from your new account. Two different accounts.

Thanks for all the help to those that answered. The ownership thing worked like a charm.. Sorry about the cross posting, guess I got a little desperate there for a minute. I usually never cross post at all. Had lost all my subsribed to and forgot which ones I usually read... >> I had a motherboard crash. Putting together a new machine.

Unfortunately, there seem to be a lot of netcops that get totally bent out of shape if you cross-post. Ignore them and keep posting the same way as this was. > > Sorry about the cross posting, guess I got a little desperate there > > for a minute. I usually never cross post at all.

Crossposting has a bad reputation because it's a traditional tool of spammers. However, as you say, there's nothing wrong with crossposting to related groups when it makes sense to do so. And it's always much preferable to multi-posting, which does nothing but waste everyone's time and gets the OP poorer help than he should get.
