Get an address book off of a Vista hard drive

My Vista crashed, but the hard drive is intact. Wanting to get the address book off of it, I put it in a Windows 7 machine. It boots up but I can't use the mouse or the keyboard. Any ideas of what I need to do?

Hi usanadad,

We normally suggest you put the bad hard drive in a USB enclosure to try to access files.

It may be necessary to "take ownership of files and folders" in order to see those files.
