Access denied to external harddrive. Won't let me share?

Story: Emachines desktop goes dead. Doesn't load up at all anymore. When it did work, it was WindowsXP and my password to get in. I pulled the harddrive and hooked it up to another computer(WindowsXP), and I can see the drive. I can see everything. But there is one big problem.

It won't let me open the folder for my userid, which is where ALL my data is. All the other ids did not have passwords. Mine did(the admin).

Instead, I get "access denied". I've tried unchecking "use simple file sharing", and to go into the option for sharing it, but I get an error there, too. Same thing.

I have a feeling it won't let me open that folder because it didn't get the password. I have the password, but no way to put it in and let that folder know that I'm authorized.

Anybody help? Please?

 

Brilliant!

Thank you very much.

For search purposes for future: If folks do not see the Owner tab, they need to go into Folder options under Control Panel and under the tab of VIEW, deselect the "use easy sharing" checkbox.
