I took the drive out of my old busted laptop and want to recover some files from my documents but it says "Access is denied"

Is there a way around this? The drive itself is fine, just locks me out

thanks
 
You need to take ownership of the folder and give yourself permission to access it.

Right-click folder
Properties
Security
Advanced
Owner
(Change owner to be you)

If still no good, add yourself to the permissions list and give yourself full control.
