    My old pc died so I bought a new one.

    I took the hard drive out of the old pc and attached it to a usb ide
    adapter.

    I hooked it up a laptop computer but the only files that appear to be there
    are the ones that were in my documents.

    how do i get to other directories that were on that drive?

    In bob peterson spewed forth:
    And we're supposed to guess what OPERATING SYSTEM you had on the old system
    and on the new system?

    Do you get *Folder is not accessible. Access is denied*?

    If you can't see the USB drive in safe mode you might need to install the
    Security Configuration Manager.
