Hi there, got myself into a little bit ov a pickle and hope someone can help. My comp started to have motherboard probs and wouldn't start up properly so i took my hard drive out and set it as slave drive in a diff comp so i can still access my stuff, only prob is when it was in the "broken" comp i had set my documents as private so they can only be accessed when on my user name. Now when i try to access them from the "working" computer im given the message "E:\Documents and Settings\Chris\My Documents is not accessible, Access is denied". I could go out and by a new mobo for the broke comp but i really dont want to becuase it is kinda old anyway and i have a new one so im wondering if anyone knows how i can get into these folders from it being set at Slave Drive in a diff computer? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Chris.

i cant change the security settings of a username that i cant get into... it was set up so other users can't access it, and tryin to access it from a username on a completely different hard drive just dont work that way. is there anything i can download that can over rule this security lock or something?? or will i b better to set the drive with the docs as master, and access it that way then change the settings?

Yes, I would go with the last option. You can put it back to how it was after you have made the changes.
