I just built a new computer, and decided to keep my original hard drive for
storage, and run my OS on the new hard drive.. I have a ton of important files that I left in the "My Documents Folder" on my spare drive.. Basically I cleaned out the spare drive that was running windows xp home, except for my important files.. I then installed the OS on my new Hard drive.. Now when I try to access files in the "My Documents" Folder on my spare drive... Access is denied.. What can I do to get these file working again... All of the other folders on my spare drive work fine... Again, I'm running windows xp home addition... Thanks for reading... Hard lesson being learned here.... |
