Recently, My old computer passed away. I purchased a new one. I took the HD from the old and set it up as a usb external through a docking station. I then tried to access my documents, pictures and video from the old drive and I couldn't find them there. Could someone tell me what I must do to get to these files? thanks...
 
Solution
Are they just missing or do you get an access denied? And where are you looking for them?

XP - Files are in Document and Settings \ Username
Vista and up - Files are in User \ Username
