Hi Wyndell,
Take ownership of the files and folders in the old drive that you want to access and give yourself full control. You can use the in-built takeown.exe command to take ownership. See:
How to Take Ownership of a file or folder in Windows Vista?

Using Vista Home Premium. Have a drive on the USB bus that came out of my
old XP computer. Trying to access some text and Excell files on the drive.
They come back with "Access Denied".
I have read and tried all the suggestions I have found on the subject of
changing file ownership. Nothing works. Still can not access these files.
Can anyone help with this problem?
Wyndell
