Cannot access external HDD on other PC after protecting it in Win7
I have a freecom external HDD that I use with user level-access protection on a win7 home premium64bit PC that just died completely. I have tried to connect it to both on XP Pro and new Win8.1 laptops but get "F:\ is not accessible access is denied" errors in both. Am I stuffed or is there hope (contents are an extensive music collection and family photos)? I hoped the protection was held within my Win 7 settings but it seems to be on the drive itself?
