Hi Will, thanks for your reply. At this point all I want
to do is save some files. I put the hard drive as a slave
drive on another computer. It will read most of the
folders and files, but if will not open the "My
Documents" folder. When I click on it, a window opens
that says, Documents and Settings\Administrator\My
Documents is not accessible. Access is denied. Is there
anything can I do to save my flies? Joseph.
