    Recover personal files from hard drive using USB enclosure.


    My friend has been using AutoCAD on fairly new Windows 10 install. No problems till today when he got an error stating he needed to reinstall the OS. I didn't see the error before he shut down. To be safe he pulled his hard drive and asked me to backup his personal files using a USB enclosure, before reinstalling OS.No problem right? I've done this for other people many times in older OSs, but this is the first time I've seen Windows 10 file structure. I plugged in the drive and found that I can't access files in the OS partition. I can't crack it. Basically, it can't get the rights to see files there. I actually plugged the enclosure into an old XP computer I had laying around and was able to see some folders and files, but no personal files.
    Can any of you help me understand where his files are located on the drive and how I can access them?
    Thanks!

    :)

    0xc000000f error - Unable to start PC and restore system

    Thank you for your reply. I'll definitely keep it in mind, but in the meanwhile, would you (or someone else) perhaps have any other options I might use? I have neither a USB enclosure nor any experience with USB enclosures. I'm also hardly tech savvy and
    really not comfortable with actually physically opening up and taking things out of my computer.

    I would remove the hard disk, install it in a USB enclosure, recover your files then format it then try reinstalling Windows 10.

    I did discover that my problems stemmed from a rights issue. I had not given myself access to the OS partition.

    I found this article: Failed To Enumerate Objects In The Container
    and made the changes I needed and now it appears to be working.

    Thanks anyway for your help.
