So basically, My mother had a PC which had all of her pictures on (no backups that I knows) break. The hard drive seems to remain fine however no images seem to be showing up. I plugged the HDD directly into my pc with a SATA cable and the drive showed up straight away!
Upon navigating to the user section of the drive, the accounts shows and when i unhid all the folders, they all seemed to show up but access was denied. I managed to somehow take ownership of all the files but I cannot access the 'my pictures' and 'my videos' folder as it comes up with this message
I also tried scanning the drive with Recuva and none of the images show up so I'm essentially out of my depth of understanding. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
