So my laptop's motherboard bit the dust over the summer (yay dell). As a result, all my music and photos from a semester abroad are on that harddrive. So, my girlfriend picked up this thing for me that turns a laptop harddrive into an external. Its basically an aluminum case with usb/firewire cable attachments. I stuck the hd into it, and it works fine.

The only problem is, when I try to get into my profile and my documents, it informs me that access is denied.

Any suggestions?

Is there any way to boot/load windows off of a usb drive?

I'd appreciate any help you can give. Thanks.
