I have built a new system and have added the old Hard disk
drive into the new system as a slve drive. The XP system
works just fine and most of the files/folders on the old
drive can be seen and read. Some cannot however.... is
there any way I can access all the files and folders on
the old drive by changing the permissions etc ?
