My friend's computer died the other day (motherboard died thanks to a lot of dust!) and she ended up buying a new computer. The problem is that she wants all her files transferred from her old hard drive to her new one - but she had a password on her account, which means the files are locked out.
I know how to take ownership of the files using the admin account etc etc, but the way I do it seems to take forever! Is there a definitive way to remove all of the permissions so I can copy the files across and she can access them? I just wanna know if the method I use is the best one (this is all being done on an XP machine)
Thanks in advance!
