- Opening password protected folders in "newly" external HD
- Posted by Inder on February 19th, 2006
Hi,
My laptop's motherboard died and I successfully moved its hard drive to an
external enclosure to turn it into an external USB drive.
Problem is I can't get into my own folders now, though I can see them. No
problem opening unprotected folders. A double-click leads instantly to an
"access denied" message, without the opportunity to give it the password for
that folder.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!

Since you have Windows XP Home, you will need to boot to Safe Mode.
