sidrick Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 What kind of hard drive? An actually hard disk drive? Sounds like the data is in a windows profile. move it to the root C drive, then try again. Failing that, USB, CD, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravo81 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Sounds like the hard drive is protected? Try it in CMD prompt..google the commands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveB Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Windows security - it's because the account that created it is different to the account that's trying to read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Windows security - it's because the account that created it is different to the account that's trying to read it. That depends on the filesystem.. if it's NTFS you can 'take ownership' of files.. but we need to know exactly what's going on before suggesting fixes.
