Hi
sorry if this question been answered but could not see anything when I searched

My old laptop died so I removed the harddrive and set it up as external for my new lap top with winows 8 os. Mainly to use the pictures, videos stores on the drive.
Unfortunately due to security I cannot access the files. I have tried using the procedures given for windows 7 on changing drive ownership as best I can but they don't seem to work .

Can anyone give me a link for the correct procedure or suggestions.

Thanks

Jack
