i have a friends broken laptop. i need to get her files off the hd, i have put the hd in an usb enclosure and conected it to my pc , but i cant open any of the files or move them to my pc. it says i do not have permission. i can take ownership of the file but i am stills haveing issues. any thoughts on how i can retrieve the files and folders please. the laptop its self is FUBAR am kinda stuck

cheers
 
for some reason every time i reinstall my computer i have this problem with my 1TB Sammy, i fix it by right click folder in drive properties/security look for Everyone in Group or user names box, click edit and set full control, you will have to do this for every main folder in your HDD

hope that helps.
