Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008Moving files
My laptop died. I pulled the hard drive to use as an external drive. Unfortuantely, I used a password on my laptop prior to its death, now I cannot access the one directory I want. All the HELP says to move the directory to the shared folders. I cannot move it or copy it. It says "access denied." I know the password; I just cannot figure out how to get the computer to ask me for it. Anyone??? Thanks. > My laptop died.

You need to log on as "Administrator" and seize ownership of the folder in question. Click Start / Help and look for help on "Ownership" if unsure how to do this. Take ownership of the files and you will be able to do as you please with them. How to take ownership of a file or folder in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308421 John > My laptop died.
