Re: Recovering data from a slave drive

Here's a suggestion. When you post a response to someone who is
trying to help you solve a problem you might want to include as
much information as possible on not only what you tried but
what happened when you followed that procedure. If you were
unable to complete a suggested procedure, point out where in
that procedure you encountered problems. Include the exact text
of any error messages you received.

Statements such as "I have tried that and I can not access the
slave drive" are far too vague.

Keep in mind the following:
If you're running XP Pro and you encrypted these files and/or
folders the recovery procedure will be quite different. If this
is the case, I hope you backed up the encryption keys.
If you're running XP Home Edition, you have to boot into Safe
Mode in order to gain access to the Security tab. In XP Pro,
you have to disable Simple File Sharing.

Good luck
