Harddrive permissions accessing? Can't get into my documents with external hard drive
 

My documents and settings is password protected and I am on the road so slipped my harddrive in an external case and now cannot access it. Is there anyway to get around this or somehow boot from a usb external drive instead of my laptops drive?

are you logged in as admin with your internal os/harddisk?

yes I am however the external drive is from a different computer than my laptop which connects by USB
