I have the laptop hard drive on a hard drive docking station connected to an XP Pro machine but I cannot access the C:\Users\Username\Local Settings on the laptop hard drive. I get the "Access Denied" message like Jordan whenever I try. I tried Safe Mode and turning off Simple File Sharing. I booted into Ultimate Boot CD and tried the DOS tools to access this folder but it cannot be seen. How do I access this folder? What do I use in Ultimate Boot CD to access this folder to copy some files out of it?
