Hi,
I have a hard drive that have profiles and passwords. The drive needs
windows to be reinstalled because of a motherboard replacemnt. I have the
drive connected as a 2nd drive in my notebook via a usb cradle. I have setup
the profile and the same password to the first drive onto the second drive. I
can see the drive and folders but I get an error saying to see if it is
password protected. I need to get my pictures and files. I am logging into
the second pc with the same name and password but can't open ot move the
folders to the second pc.
