hi guys i've posted on here before about a psu, everything went well with that but recently i got some stuff replaced including that because i changed case and the psu went bang.

thats not my problem however i've fixed that now and all is well apart from the hard drives.

i gave this to a mate who owns a pc service store and when i was giving him the pc i gave him this spair hard drive i had for ages because on my other hard drive i've got has various files of audio and programs for my sound engineering and production courses at college.

now i've fitted the hard drive and all is well apart from i cannot access my documents i think its because i have a password over my login name on that hard drive and it is a must that i get them because i've not bothered to back up 3 years of college work on my pc, i know it works however because i can access all files apart from My documents on the hard drive.

i've got 2 options here i think, one being to switch hard drives from slave to main but i have no idea how that works, or two being able to figure out how to access my documents.

i'm sorry i'm asking this but this is really really important to my work for the future, thanks guys once again

If you are denied access to the folder/files, you probably just need to take ownership of them.

Have a read here as to how.
