Hi all

Yesterday I had a win 2000 on my computer. I used an administrative account. On one of my partitions (F) I granted access rights (read, write etc.) only for the "Administrator"(i.e. me) account. There were also "user" accounts, that I didn't want to access this partition.

Today I installed a fresh copy of XP(not upgrate or over-win2000-install - I formatted the boot partition and there installed XP). But now I can't acces F partiion. When I try to access it I become a message box "Acces denied". When I get the properties of that partition I see only 3 tab sheets: General, Tools and Hardware.

Can I do s.th. to get the data from this partition?( Attaching the HDD as a slave to another win2000 and trying to grant rights for that partiotion for everyone? or changing the security policies? or accessing that partition from Linux? or? )

I'll appreciate any feedback

Regards,

Rossen Dimov

Hi,
go to Folder Options/View Uncheck the checkbox - User simple file sharing

Go again to to the partition mentioned and look at properties again.
There will be another tab - Security

In the Security tab there's a button Advanced under which there is a tab
Owner, where you can replece ownership.
For more information about Ownership see the following article:
How to take ownership of a file or folder in Windows XP

Please contact me for any questions.
