Hi there

I had a hard drive in my own PC... On the drive I have a folder which is
personal

I have moved the hard drive to a new PC... as the old PC is faulty.

Now when I access the folder (that is personal) I am given a message 'Folder
is inaccessible'

I used to get the same message when trying to access this folder on the old
pc, from another PC on a network

However the drive is now inside this new PC and not accessible.

I am unable to put the drive into the old pc, as the old pc is faulty

How can I access the files?

Both operating systems were/are Windows XP

Hope you can help

Thank you
