I had a motherboard crash on my Windows 7 machine. I bought a new machine Windows 8 and I bought a Enclosure for the harddrive out of the old Windows 7 machine. I figure I can at least recover my files off of my old C:\ drive. Well I can see part of them on the drive but I cannot copy them or edit them because it says I do not have permission. There is no way to enter a login that I had on my old machine. So I would like to scrub the harddrive of all security without losing the files so I can copy them to my new machine. When I try to do this through properties it does not like it. I know there is way to enter in to the hard drive and set the securities to default or at least turn them off. I have seen it done. Can anybody tell me how?
