also follow the instructions for taking ownership of the files...but do it on the E drive itself (like right click on the E drive icon in my computer and do properties etc...) instead of just a single folder

system security put in place via a passworded user account and file security are two different things...the security of a computer with a passworded user account is effective in keeping unwanted access to the computer to a minimum as long as the system is running... actual file security (i.e. file encryption) is a whole different story...if you had encrypted those files...you wouldn't be looking at them right now...they'd be gone (effectively....there are ways to get them back but that's another ball of wax)It does not make sense to me that microsoft could allow one computer to take ownership of hard drive that was password protected - it is too easy. That means i can remove anyones hard drive and put it through a enclosure and access their files - there is something missing here - I still cannot access.
