unable to view files w/SATA/ USB adapter

So I am trying to read from my current laptop my old laptop hard drive thru a Sata HDMI adaptor. Seems like a bunch of missing hidden or inaccessible files. I read that i need to change the bios and allow to read the files however i was able to open a menu but did not locate or view the command for allowing to read files.
Any help here thx

I think I remember a similar problem. It came down to file permissions.
You could download and run DMDE. Then click on NTSF volume in the partition tab.
See if you can expand the tree (root) to see the files.

[color=#333333]My 7 year-old Canon PIXMA MG7720 still copies and prints beautifully, but the software interface, especially with Mac Ventura, has become capricious, and I had to download Vuescan for the scanner function.[/color] [color=#333333]This all-in-one inkjet was recommended on a couple of tech review websites. [/color][url]https://www.brother-usa.com/products/mfcj4335dw[/url] [color=#333333]I'm wondering if I should bite the bullet and get a new printer or wrestle with the MG 7720 and use Vuescan for scanning. I like good color quality and quiet functioning but It's just for home use.[/color] [color=#333333]Very grateful for any input or suggestions.[/color]Read More

What's a recommended way to get it across? Not sure if I should go over it or under it or under the carpet but let me know what you think. I'd rather avoid doing any attic work.Read More
