Backing up Hard drive

[mattttt]

I have a friends corrupted windows hard drive in my computer as a slave. I can see all the files fine, and i already backed up some photos in shared pictures. When i go to back up documents in a password protected account it says D:\\documents&sett\name is not accessible access is denied. If i have to i can get the password but i dont know how to put it in, to gain access. How can i access this users documents so i can back them up. This hard drive will not boot windows so i cant try to run it and back it up on its own install of windows. Im sure there has to be a way to get access to these files

Corrupts install is a Win xp home
viewing on win 2000 pro


Problem was fixed, i had to go into security tab and change permissions from there.

You need to take ownership of this folder for which you need Windows XP (or safe mode in XP home). You then right click on the folder and go to security tab, then take ownership from there.

Most data recovery programs will ignore the ownership, so you should use these first if the data is important, as taking ownership may damage the OS if the MFT is corrupt.

You can recover data with these utilities:
1) R-Studio
2) GetDataBack
3) Ontrack's Easy Recovery Pro
4) Quetek
5) File Scavenger
6) HDD Regenerator

I prefer GetDataBack.
