Technical Problem

[No1newts]

Feel free to move this if it is in the wrong section just not sure where to post.

I just bought a hard drive cradle so I can get access to my old HD from an old rig. I want to get some pictures off there but it wont let me saying I need administrator permission (I was the admin on my old HD)

How can I give myself access to these files?

You could take over permissions on the current system

properties > security > advanced > owner ......

If you could do that wouldnt it defeat the point of having a password protected system?

You would have thought so but that actually worked, pretty pointless getting a password on your computer then really as if someone wants in just take the HD and change the permissions

But it worked for me so happy days, thanks for the advice chaps
