Hello!
I recently rebooted an old Dell and put a new HDD with Windows 7 on it, I needed to replace the HDD because my old one (with Windows XP) got a virus and subsequently became corrupt, and every time I tried to use the Windows XP disk to repair the hard drive, I would get a BSOD (BAD_POOL_CALLER). I plugged my old XP drive into another SATA port so I can access it from the Windows 7 drive, but when I try to grab off a ton of my old files at a time, or any folder/file for that matter, it says "Access Denied" and I have to change the ownership of the folder/file (very tedious when you have 80gb worth of pictures, video and music). So my question is if there's any way I could bypass the security as a whole (it's my account on there so I know the user info and password if that makes a difference) so I could backup all my files without running into a security block, because as mentioned previously, I'm able to change the ownership for one specific folder/file at a time but that means I would have to do so for every file in every folder, and I have quite a lot of files. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time!
