How do I access my old files (B:) from my new AD computer?

We have upgraded your old hard drive, but you will still be able to access your old files for a limited time. 

Note:  This does not apply to laptops - only desktop computers.

1.  To access your old files:

• Click on the Start button and then Computer.

or

• Click on the Windows Explorer icon (the manila folder) and click on Computer on the left side of the window.

2.  Double-click on Old Hard Drive(B:).

3.  You will now be able to navigate through your old files (C: Drive).  While some data may be located in this location, most of the user data will be stored in the Users folder under the folder labeled with your Ozone username (firstname_lastname). 

Note: If you have a long username, the folder may be named with your last name and then your first initial. 

4.  If you receive a message that you don’t have permission to access a folder, if the computer is asking for an admin password or if you are having other issues accessing your files, please contact the Owens IT Help Desk at 567-661-7120.

5.  It is recommended that you now copy your data to your new computer.
