Hi here

I have taken my hard drives out of my windows computer and put them in a external hard drive enclosure

Now while i can see most of my files i cant specifically see my documents also i cant seem to move files from my hard drive enclosure? on to say the desktop

any reason why?

Thanks

You say-- my "Windows" computer... what OS are you using to access the external drive, now ??

If it's OS X-- that's a MacIntosh OS -- yes ? You might be able to move them around-- but Mac's won't open MS files without adapter-type software.

if the hard drive you are trying to access came out of a windows pc then if the previous owner of the drive had a windows password then that would explain why you cant get to "my documents" you would have to take ownership of the drive How to take ownership of a file or a folder in Windows XP
that might help

my bad i can get to my documents just was begin too hasty ....had to go through admin folder... i thought it would have just been "on there"

Thanks for your help
