I recently built a new machine, and i'm moving all my files over from my old hard drives to my new ones, except the problem im having is a do not have access to anything under the documents and settings folders (even as the admin). is there any way to get this data off of there? the old computer isnt in a state where i can put it back together to move them to a middleman so unfortuneatly the obvious solution is not viable.

thanks
 
Mon0L1th,

This might be your solution if your old drives are NTFS. You can also follow the KB to FAT32 solutions

How to set, view, change, or remove special permissions for files and folders in Windows XP

Hope this is what you need
