Serial ATA 2.5 external enclosure

August 20th, 2012, 16:49

Hello,

my computer has gone away last year and I recovered its hard disk with all my data.

I bought a Serial ATA 2.5 external enclosure in order to read and recover the data, but the problem is that when I used my PC I put a password to in enter in my account, and now with the new PC every time I read my old hard disk it appears a message (attached) saying that I have not the authorisation to enter in the files.

Could you please help me to solve this obstacle? :roll:

thank you very much in advance

From your description, I think you are talking about the usual (and expected) behaviour of Windows NTFS permissions, when you move a disk to another Windows system.

Since Windows support is off-topic for this forum, you'll find more detailed support on specialist Windows support forums. You can read some examples of suggested resolutions for that behaviour on these web pages which I found - but I'm not offering further explanations myself :)

Other resolutions are also possible (e.g. using Linux), but in this case I wouldn't personally recommend that option.

Of course it is possible that I have misunderstood your description...

I too think this is a typical behaviour of NTFS permission.

julienduras, press "Continuer" and wait. It will eventually show your files, but you may have to wait up to 10 minutes or so.
