    New computer unable to open files from old hard drive connected via USB

    I took my old hard drive out of a winXP computer and put that hard drive into an external HD enclosure. I plugged the hard drive into the new computer via USB cable and am able to open some files, but when I try to open most of the files I get the error message telling me that I don't have permission. How can I access these files?
