Okay, I seem to have the files but the thumbnails are not showing up and I keep getting "access denied" on everything can anyone help?
The data you recovered was from a previous install on Windows and therefore has the security settings from your old user account. You need to "take ownership" of these files to reset the security settings on them for the user account that you are logged in as now.
