For some reason my friends hard drive crashed and I put it in a removable tray to get the files off of his Hard Drive onto mine. The only problem is I can't access his files in his documents and profiles folder on the HD. It tells be "access denied." This is his harddrive in my computer. How do I change rights management to access his computer files? He was running xp pro before his computer crashed. Thanks for any help!

Credit goes to Arckane for this one...

I wrote this tutorial for the guys at work, but I've had others requst it too, so here you go (http://www.techhelping.com/pages/databackup/Accessing%20Locked%20Files%20and%20%20Foldes%20-%20Vile.htm)

The computer you do this from must be running XP Pro. The computer you see this being done on is a data backup job I did for a customer.
