Hard Drive Data...? 1

[Firestorm0mega]

Okay so here is what I have going on. I pull a 40gb hd from a busted laptop. It has 37.5gb a space used on it. I've already thrown it into a 2.5" enclosure kit and have already looked at it. My problem is that when its plugged in (USB2.0) I cant see all the files on the hard drive (mainly all of the files associated with the main user account on the hd). When I check the properties of the user account folder, I get 0 for any space related information and when I double click on it i recieve an error message stating that I am restricted. Any one have any ideas on how I can either get into the user account folder and view the files that I know are there or if I can just view every files on the hard drive. (The hard drive is also partitioned with a version of Red Hat 9)

You'll have to take ownership of the files associated the with the main user:
