I just upgraded my hard drive in my personal computer, I am trying to pull
the pst files from the old hard drive to my new one. I get the following:
"F:\documents and settings\myname\local settings is not accessible. Access
is denied."
I can't copy these to a shared drive. My settings on my PC were password
protected and I set up the old HD to change them and then went back to the
new HD. Any thoughts?

Thanx

See in win help, "take ownership"
Copy the pst's from the old drive to the Documents folder on the new drive
Then either open them within Outlook, FileOpenData File, or using Data
Management open the data file and set it as the default msg store

I can't copy to the new drive, I can't get access. I get this message:

""F:\documents and settings\myname\local settings is not accessible. Access
is denied."

I believe it may have something to do with a password. I log into my
computer using , I am the administrator. My email goes to my personal
folder. I went back in and changed the settings so I need not log in to open
my pc. Still I get the above pop up.

How exactly did you password protect your old drive/folders?
Did you actually look up 'how to take ownership.?

No, I'm not sure what you mean by did I look up "how to take ownership?" I
have been swapping my HD's to try and get my old outlook pst files. When I
say swap, I will use my old HD (with the files I am trying to retrieve) as my
boot HD, and the new HD as my slave, back up, other drive... I can't get the
old HD to copy these files to a common or shared drive. I then use my new HD
to try and retrieve these files using outlook. with no luck. I know I need
a password to log on to the old HD and that my outlook mail is associated
with this password. It goes to just my account and not a shared account. I
hope this is as clear as mud!!!

Password:- it depends *exactly* what password you are refering to.
ie could be your windows log-in pw, or Personal Folders pw, or encrypted
folders pw

Take Ownership: see Help, from your start menu
