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 |
