Accessing files from old PC hard drive on new Mac

[MEAVES49]

Hi all! I want to access my personal files from an old PC hard drive on my new mac. I bought the Paragon NTFS for Mac and downloaded, etc but STILL can't view my personal files! Any ideas what I did wrong? HELP!

What version of OS X are you running ?
What is the format of your old PC Hard drive ( NTFS, FAT32, something else )
Is that old disk build into an enclosure and connected to your Mac via USB ?
Is the old hard disk ( once connected ) visible in DiskUtility ?
Is the old hard disk ( once connected ) visible in the Finder ?
Can you see any file at all on the old hard drive or just your personal files ?

You don't need Paragon NTFS to read NTFS formatted disks, only if you want to write to the disk.

NTFS
Is that old disk build into an enclosure and connected to your Mac via USB ?
I have the old hard drive connected to a SATA WIRE USB to my Mac

Yes

Is the old hard disk ( once connected ) visible in the Finder ?
Yes

I can't see my personal files. I can only see Program Files, Windows, Intel, Perflogs, etc

My hard drive says the format is NTFS. When I connect it to a PC, I can see my personal files but I thought the Paragon would do that for me...but I guess I misunderstood :/

Could I transfer them from another PC to Dropbox?

Can you see the main folder that contains your personal files ? ( MyDocuments ? )
Can you see the folder structure that contains your personal files ?
