Have you tried to changed the attributes of those files? Changing them from read only? What type of files are you trying to access? Wendy in NSW

slave hard drive problem (seems to be the same as yourquery?) jennellh (@gmail.com)
Just replied via email, Jeanne. Hope we can sort this out for you. Nothing more frustrating that a computer glitch. Wendy in NSW
Just had a look at that link and there's some promising suggestions in there if your second HD drive is already set to slave and the problem is still there. Wendy in NSW

regarding slave hard drive problem (seems to be the same as your> query?)
ta, Wendy, got your reply and am now reading thru your link and the one Jenn sent, as well as links on those sites that might lead me down the right path...no not the garden path, lol.
i will work thru this, i will find the answers i need, i'm sure i can figure out eventually how to retrieve those files off the old h/d. oh yea, gotta open puter and fix switches on old h/d so it is the slave, enable it in the bios and see what happens when i reboot.
might take me all day today to get thru all this read> Just replied via email, Jeanne. Hope we can sort this out for you.

good thing to come from h/d crashing is i again learn more about how my puter actually works and find new software to d/l that will help for various problems. one day i want to make my own computer from scratch, woooooohoooooooo!!!!! who doesnt like a puter geek now, eh. we cant live without'em. cheers, jeanne
