Corrosion. Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I have to wipe a computer so I'm backing it up by making the hd a slave and putting it into another pc. The problem is my profile on the drive was set to private and it is not allowing me to access my files. How can I bypass this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
