I pulled a hard drive out of laptop to access the data on the drive. I have a convertor that lets me hook it into my standard computer and the drive shows up just fine. The issue is that the laptop drive was loaded with XP and the user had a password to log into Windows. I can see the entire drive just fine. When I use Windows Explorer and navigate to Documents and Settings - > Owner (this is what he was logging in as so this is his home dir). The bad part is that when you have a password login for XP and try to access the drive when installed in another computer it won't let you access the users home dir. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about how to access the drive. The reason I had to pull the drive is because his laptop won't boot and I need to get about 7 years worth of database files off the drive as well as the users My Documents folder.
