Recovering files from hard drive of laptop with failed motherboard
Hello,
I am trying to access the files on my laptop hard disk which I have now connected to my desk top as the mother board on my dell 1558 Studio has failed. I can see the files and can navigate to "My Documents" and then I hit problems. If I try and open this folder I get a pop up window that says "You don't currently have permission to access this folder". I desperately need to recover a number of files. I am the administrator on the laptop. Is there anything that i can do?

You need to take ownership of the files. If the system is running WIndows 7 or Vista, that's done this way:
