Here's the situation (not the AIG commercial):
I upgraded over the past winter break. After physical installations, I couldn't get windows to run on my old harddrive. So I purchased a new harddrive, installed windows, everything worked and the old harddrive is now a slave. I CAN use the old harddrive and put information on it like movies, music etc. HOWEVER!!! I cannot open and folders or files from the Documents and Settings/Kris (me.) It gives me the red x and ...is not accessible. Access is denied. If I try a word document I get this:
"This message can appear if a file is saved with permissions. Permissions, also known as rights or privileges, can be applied to a file, folder, or almost any resource available from a network (printers, shares, files, databases, Web sites, etc). When a user attempts to open a resource that requires specific user permissions, this message will appear if the user does not have the necessary permissions.
Permissions can be set for individual users, groups of users, or for a specific computer. Usually, this message appears if you are using a network where administrators have applied permissions for specific users and groups, or you are blocked from accessing a resource local to a specific user's computer because of local permissions enabled by that user. If you cannot open a resource on a file server or computer on your network, you will most likely need to review your user account settings to determine if you have the necessary permissions to gain access to the resource. If you do not know if you have the necessary permissions, contact your network administrator or the owner of the computer with the shared resources.
Usually, this message does not appear if you are using disk drives formatted with a FAT or FAT32 file system. Drives formatted with NTFS, HPFS, or another file format that provides the ability to apply permissions, are capable of forcing this message.
Occasionally, the domain controller that grants users access to a network can lose the information used to authenticate a specific user or the network administrator has purposely turned off your account. When this happens, the only option available to the user is to turn off and restart the computer (you must turn off the computer to clear the cached information in the network card). Restarting may reset the DHCP lease and the authentication information used to grant you access to the network. If this does not work, you must contact the network administrator to have your account reset.
There is also the possibility that the file you are attempting to open is restricted through Information Rights Management (IRM). IRM is an alternate form of file restriction access that allows creators of a file the ability to limit editing, copying, printing, or forwarding of content. If the file is restricted and you require access to its contents, you must contact the creator or owner of the file to request addition of your user ID to the list of users who are allowed access to the file."
None of that seemed to be useful though since it is a personal computer.
I did have a password on my old computer before upgrade and have one now. The account used to be Kris and now it is Kristian. I think it is all because of the passwords. I tried the "share this folder" and turned off read-only and moving and copy/pasting files and folders and nothing seems to work.
All in all, I was wondering if there is any way of accessing the old data from my documents which is why I bought a new harddrive in the first place. Please lend your helping hands!
