    Unable to copy files from external hard drive to new laptop

    I had a toshiba laptop before and I have copied all my documents from it to my external hard drive.

    Now when trying to copy the files to my new laptop, it asks me for permission and doesn't let me copy the files.

    I have looked for a solution multiple times. Taken ownership of the file. Added my user to the list giving full access control and it still tells me that I don't have access to it and doesn't let me copy the files.

    Laptop hard drive upgrade

    To replace a hard drive on a laptop is a little more troublesome than a desktop. 1st as most people here suggest you will need some sort of a backup disk just in case. Also be sure when buying the new Hard Disk is compatible with your model. And i would strongly suggest you install a new system and start from scratch because there are far too many problems that can occur when transferring system files.
