My Dell computer running XP quit working. My hard drive appears to be
working and my Files are intact.
A friend of mine took my hard drive (which used to be the C drive running XP
home on my old Dell computer), and put it in an external hard drive
enclosure and I can hook it up to my laptop computer via USB port. Problem
is when I try to copy files that I really want to recover from old C drive,
I get access denied when I try to copy files. I have years worth of
pictures, etc. on old C drive. Does anyone known how to copy files  without
getting access denied error?
