Hi everyone,New to the forum. I need somehelp! My old laptop died before I could make a backup, so I was hoping I could use the old hard drive on my new computer. I bought an external hard drive adapter for it (USB system) and it will only let me recover files from a sub-user, not the main, which was myself. Clicking on the Main and Administrator files on the hard drive makes a popup which says 'Access Denied'. It doesn`t even prompt me for my password. I have been told it is a question of slave-master, however there is no security option when I go into the Properties of the Drive so I grant access to all users. Is there any way I can recover my files and use this drive as storage or should I just give it up?Thank you in advance!
Please Help! using old hard drive as an external and recovering files

Thank you so much for the advice. I tried the first option, but I assume the old hard drive does need to be formatted to the new system because it`wouln't boot from the USB Hard Drive. Do you know how to do that?thanks again!
