Can't access "my documents" on slave drive

[dbezy]

I bought an E-machines computer 3 years ago. The power module burned up last week, so I borrowed another power module to see if everything else was ok. Couldn't get the computer to boot up so I assumed the power module failure wiped out the mother board.

I bought another E-machines tower, hooked the old hard drive up as a slave. I can see all the files except what was stored in "my documents'. Access is denied. I changed the BIOS setting and tried to boot from the slave drive but it just goes into a continuous reboot loop. Won't go into safe mode either.

Anyone know of way I can get access to the files in "my documents" without booting from this drive?

First stop Take ownership of the folder

Thanks! That worked.

unable to access My Docs on slave drive

I have the same prob, will try to take ownership of folder, but that still doesn't explain the continuous reboot loop. Aanyone out there have any information on this? Is it a Microsoft bug or security feature?

Make sure that all your drivers are installed properly, I have experienced the same with my 2 dvd drives, when I try to use them they go into a contious boot loop. unplug cd/dvd drives and try to boot that way. The loop that I was in only went three times. Once started make sure that the device drivers are up to date and installed properly.
