Tech Help: External HD

My old HD crashed so I had it moved into an external enclosure so that I could access files.

Everything is okay except for the old 'My documents' folder. It says 'access is denied'. Is there anyway to get around this? I need photos.

Try getting a back up program and back up that folder to someplace, just to see if it will work then. Or just mess around with the settings for the folder.

its a permissions issue. Was that harddrive taken out of another pc?
Are you still connecting it to the same pc it came out of?

you can probably go into ther permissions and change the owner to you, windows security is very ghetto.

I can't change the permissions for some reason. The Windows XP on the external HD fried, I can just access every file except for my documents.

The directory is 0 megs in size too?
