Hi, I hope someone can help me.
I have just changed computers, and the old C: Master drive is now my D:
Slave.
I had all my documents on the old C: drive, but I had nowhere to save them
to to use the transfer wizard, because the transfer wizard would not allow
me to use my DVD writer. I saved the settings to a small USB stick. That was
no problem.
Now I cannot access my documents from the D: drive, as I keep getting told
that access is denied. I have tried sharing the folder, but that is still
not permitted. Does anyone have any idea of how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

Hi Richard,
You will need to take the ownership of that files/folders to gain access to
them.

Also you can use the F.S.T.W to transfer files and folders from the old
Drive to the new one then you can Format the old one when been sure all the
data been transferred working okay (not corrupted) and accessible.
