I had a recent laptop meltdown but salvaged the 2 HDs off of it, bought an external case, inserted one HD and it worked! That was my former D: drive with large files that just took up too much space on C:. Fine, that I have those back, but the important ones are/were on C:
I removed "D:", replaced it with "C:" and found it labeled in My Computer. Opened it and all of the files are available except "my stuff" A subfolder named "Nick" (me) has ALL of the data that I want to recover, but I get a message that says "Folder not accesible". Merde.
So, could that be because I was always logged in as an "administrator" on my previously working laptop and that folder is password protected? If so, how do I enter that/remove that restriction without the use of my old OS?
Any help you can offer is much appreciated.
