    I just got a new HDD and I installed it as my new main and my old main drive as my slave. I'm trying to transfer all my files from my old files on to my new drive but I can't access all of them. The ones that I'm trying to get are in my old account but its denying me entry. Is there any way to bypass it?

    Whenever I try to go into the old drive and go into the windows folder, then I select the old user folder and I get a message saying I"m denied access to said folder.

    change the boot sequence around so that old drive boots 1st as it appears you might have a password on that drive. once booted up on old drive then can copy info over to new drive.

    The old drive's windows has that god-awful winlogon loop (even in safe mode) could I still get the data off?
