I bought a new computer with windows vista premium and I am trying to get my files off the old HDD. I connected the old HDD to the new computer with a USB device and I took ownership of the folders on the old drive. There are, however, some files that it won't let me take control over. These files are my Word docs so it is extremely necessary to get these files moved. The old computer doesn't work anymore so I can't set up a network and move them that way. I need a way to move these docs to the new computer.
I have tried to set the permissions on each individual file, but I'm not getting the option to take ownership of them. I have managed to move 2 of them, but when I try what I did with those on the other files it doesn't work.
