So i will try to describe this problem im having the best i can. I took my old hard drive out of my computer and put it in my newer computer. The newer computer has a existing hard drive which i have plugged in as master and the older hard drive is plugged in as slave. Everything loads up and works fine. I can see the master and slave hard drive just fine except for one problem. I had a folder (inside documents and settings) with all of my files in it. when i click on the folder it says access is denied. i can get everything else off the hard drive except that one folder. I messed with the sharing properties, etc, but nothing... And i know the files are still there judging by the free space left on the hard drive.. Any advice anyone?

You need to set ownership on the folder.
 
Right-click on the folder, go to properties, and then security and play around in there.
