Copying files from another machine's image

Thread needs solution

Hi, I have two machines--both with ATI 2010--and I am setup as a workgroup, not a domain. I want to be able to copy files from the image of my first machine but am unable to do when I mount the image on my new machine because the image doesn't recognize the admin account of the new machine. Understandable. Still, the question is how do I work around this? Is there a way for me to create a user account on both boxes that will share the same user account? Or is there some other way around it?

thanks

Why can't you copy the files from the image on the first machine to a new
location on the first machine, then share the new location and copy the
files across the network to the second machine?

Have you tried mounting the image in Read/Write mode and then taking over permissions of the files/folders?
