My son has an old HP Pavilion model A250n. It would not boot some times. He tried to use the HP recovery procedure but that did not work. Eventually it would not boot at all. The motherboard went bad. He wanted to get some pictures and files off the hard drive. We removed the drive and put it in to an external drive case. Using my USB connection the host computer sees the drive. The drive on my system is called F: HP Recovery with two files on it recovery and temp (sometimes there is a G: drive showing up). I cannot see any files. I have tried taking ownership of the file to access it with out success. I have used this procedure and had no trouble seeing and moving the files from other drives. I think when the HP recovery procedure was used it messed up the drive. Is there any way to get the files visible so they can be down loaded?
