My motherboard fried out last week. I have important files on the hard drive. I bought an external hard drive case and put the hard drive in the case. On my other computer I'm using Windows XP. I'm using the external hard drive as a slave hard drive. I can see the holders on the slave hard drive. The problem is when I click on the folders I get an access denied error. Some files I can open some I cant. I'm not sure if the files are protected.
How do I open the files I get Access Denied error?

Thanks
