| 702964 | 2008-09-06 16:42:00 | Hiya had probs with my PC not booting up so took it to a PC repair shop that found that the part on my hard drive that holds the boot-up info was corrupt, they istalled a new hard drive but managed to keep the old one as a 2nd hard drive as the rest of the data was good on it I am now trying to access my files on the old hard drive under documents and settings\user but it wont allow me to access them - how can I access the files? I did set up user accounts on this but they were not password protected... I'm on XP... PS I'm no techy so advice in laymans terms please!! Ta, Matti |

Hiya, I've tried to do this already - when I right click on the folder then go to properties, there is no 'security' tab for me to click on... :( !! any other ideas??? Regards, Matti |

| 702967 | 2008-09-06 19:17:00 | Probably because youre using XP Home. Which wont show a security tab / it doesnt have the security tab. You need XP Pro for the security tab Do it in safe mode |
