Re: Need help accessing desktop on old HDD that I made slave in new pc
I don't have any XP Home machines here. I take it there is no separate "security" tab then w/ ownership parameters.
Try booting to the old drive as a master and the new one as a slave....prolly in safe mode would be best to try first due to fewer drivers loading (doze will FREAK on all the "new hardware found"). If safe mode won't boot, try a normal boot but basically skip/ignore all the driver requests. Once booted to your old environment, copy what you need to a new folder on the new drive, poke around for permissions to make it available to everyone if you can find anything like that...maybe even share it to everyone w/ read/write full access...then boot back to the new drive as the master like you have it now.
Once you are sure you can access the folders from the new machine and drive, then you can copy them to where you want them to live permanently and delete the shared folder.
