We Don't Do Walking Away. I would rather die with
Lads Got a problem,

Got an HDD here attached to my laptop via usb caddy. win XP installed on it from a dead pc. I m using win7 on my laptop.

I am trying to copy the My document folder and favourites from the xp drive to my win 7 laptop and it wont let me. How do I do it,

all I get when I try to copy is

"you need permission to perform this action

you require permission from the computer administrator to make changes to this file"

HELP!!!!!
 
Been a while since I've had to do this, but try this:

Go to Computer (shortcut is [Winkey]+[E]) > [right click] the drive > Properties > Security tab > Advanced > Owner tab > Edit.

After that I forget, but playing with the settings on the screens that follow shouldn't risk the content of the drive.
