I just swapped to a new HD in my computer. The old one would just continually reset when loading windows. Now I want to get a few files off my old HD. I load it up as a slave to the new HD. I can see the documents folder I need to get to but it says that access is denied. I am guessing this is because I had a login password on the old HD.
Any help would be great.

head down to Micro Center in St Louis Park, grab a 3.5" HD USB Case, plug it in, get all the files you want, format the old HD, sell old HD on Craigslist, return 3.5" HD USB Case to Micro Center and tell them it didnt work, get money back, buy beers.

anyways, if you couldnt access the files as a slave drive, there may be permission files like said above. a 3.5" bay is a good idea, but after hearing it reset itself like you said the drive is toasted, or either the os is on the bunk. good luck in retrieving files. buy a external hdd and always make a backup of all your important files like i do.

Your HD was not the problem, you had one of your hive (registry) files corrupted. If you had Recovery Console installed and backups of your hive files I could walk you through it... but then, if you had that, you wouldn't need me.
Do a nice netsearch on NTFS file security... you will probably have to download something like Hiren's Boot CD that will allow you to smurf NTFS and recover files.

Re: tech nerds
you should just be able to open up my computer, right click the drive with your needed documents and make sure the settings under the security tab allow full control for everything, can you get to anything else on that drive ( is it just one folder thats locked down?) .
