My IBM Thinkpad just stopped booting into Vista. I pulled the hard drive and installed it into an external SATA dock and I am trying to pull the data off from my home PC. I can access all of the Vista files in the partitioned sector, but when I try to access the files in my "Documents and Settings" I get an access is denied error. Is there anyway to bypass this error or set the permissions on my home PC to allow me access. Any help would be appreciated. -Rich

what operating system is on home computer ? XP should not be a issue (XP does not know the additionalVista security features)
