My mother's laptop recently went the way of the Dodo and I said I'd try get her files off for her (mainly for family holiday photos etc).
I've bought a SATA to USB cable online and plugged it into my PC and it does seem to recognise it, showing up in My Computer. The strange thing is, when I open it up in My Computer, the folders will show.. I can browse all the way from "Users" to "Pictures", "Documents" etc, but as soon as I open the My Pictures folder it's showing as empty when I know it wasn't.
I've a feeling I'm missing something glaringly obvious but it's been a while since I did something like this. Any ideas?
Also worth adding that I've got "Show Hidden Folders" checked as well.
