    Data access attempt old XP HDD on Windows 11


    Hi, I have my old Windows XP HDD on a hard drive reader connected to Windows 11 laptop. I can see a very small amount of files about 20 pictures - nowhere near the amount the HDD contained. No music or anything else. I’ve taken ownership of the My Documents / Pictures /Music etc under the user profile, under Documents and Settings. I’ve selected to show all hidden files/folders etc. Still, I am not able to see my files. Many thanks

    :)
