OK i've had a 250GB Western Digital hard drive dropped off today out of a Dell PC with corrupt system 32 files so it won't boot but it has a lot of work stuff on it which needs saving.

I've slaved it into one of my systems and can access most of "My Documents" but there is also two other users which i can't access getting Access Denied message.

The plan was to pull all of the data off onto my machine, return the hard drive back to the Dell and flatten and reload a fresh copy of Windows and then slave my drive and put all his data back but i need access into the two other accounts to get all the data off.............any ideas???

I think you're getting access denied as you need to take ownership of the files. Linky (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308421) :smile:
