restoring files from old hard drive

Hi,

I'm trying to restore some files from a laptop hard drive for a friend.

Got it in an external case and have tried it on a VISTA and a xp pc with the same results.

Basically it's a password protected admin account and it denies access to the files. Is there a way I can sort this and get access to them to back them up on to cd so she can use them?

cheers

hm

Re: restoring files from old hard drive

Either that, or enable all users to access the files from the original machine
