Computer help please !
How can I view a HD from the old computer on my new system, the old HD had problem booting up, both Have Win XP pro on them.

When I put the old HD on the new computer as slave I can see the other users documents but I can’t access the main user’s file.

you might need to log onto the partition with an admin account that was present on the original system.

what directory path is invisible to you?

that could very well be ur problem. if ur old pc was setup for different users
requiring passwords, create that same user, w/ the same password and the same
privileges as the old user account on the new pc.

it doesn't work that way.

as long as he is logged on as admin on the new drive, he should be able to see everything.

why not click on the old drive, and set the View settings to "all types" and make them read/writeable?

that should work.

what particular document type as you looking for?

perhaps you are not looking in the right spot...
