I have an external drive with a substantial number of backups made from a Win7 laptop. My attempts to access these backups from a recently installed Win8.1Pro desktop result in "You have been denied permission to access this folder". This message appears after assigning a drive letter to the backup and I attempt to access a folder within the backup. Advice on how best to proceed to gain access will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Would it were that easy. Even after "Taking Ownership" but not getting the pause even when requested. I can thus not say why it didn't work.

What does happen is that the selected folder is scanned for what I don't know. But at the end I get a message to use the security tab. Attempts to gain access that way also failed.
