I bought new external hard drive for my laptop due to the old hard drive stuck in windows xp starting up. I connected the old hard drive to hdd enclosure to open and transfer the files. But all my desktop files weren't there but its shows its still used capacity. I see some folder just for hardwares but any of my important pictures, files I couldn't find in any folder. I need help. Thanks

I would suggest you take ownership of the drive in permission settings and see if that helps
