Hi

I have had a problem with the motherboard with my laptop. I was running
Vista Home Premium. I have removed the hard drive and plugged it into an
external drive. I am now unable to access specifically my data on the drive
(It is plugged into an system running XP), although the system files are all
clearly there judging from how much of the drive is used. When I click on the
folder 'mark' it says access is denied.

Thanks

You just need to take ownership of the files. Since you're retrieving data
on XP, here's how:
