A friend asked me to look at their computer it was not booting up just kept rebooting..
Anyway they are running Windows XP and I'm running Windows 7 I have pulled the hard drive from their computer and put it in my dock to save her data..
The problem I'm having is every time I try to copy or open a file it says I need to enable permissions to access these files and or folders.
Then it presents me with the security screen and permissions but I don't know what to select in the windows, I have selected my computer name and admin name but it still won't let me open these files..
Even when I click on a file that has a .wrd or excel ext, the program opens and it says you don't have permission or you need permission to open these files..
I need to save them for her on a USB.
Any helpful advice would be Greatly appreciated Thanks

    tough one, I understand it would say that if you try to access the files, but to just copy them is a real teaser. Have you tried just copying the whole disk onto another? I hope you have the code number off their computer, I recommend a complete re-format and install of XP, as it sounds like they have some bad dll files keeping the OS from booting.
