Hi all,
Here is my situation. I had a box which is joined to the domain. The box
had one hard drive. One and only one of the partition in the hard drive was
formatted as NTFS (Basic Disk). I have reinstalled Windows XP pro again
(not yet activated). The box is now in the workgroup and it's not going to
join the Domain anymore. The problem now is the NTFS partition is not
accessable with an error message "access denied". Does any one know how can
I get data back out from that partition? I tried to login as a local
administrator, but it doesn't seems like allowing me to change the
permission.

Before I take down the box, Windows XP pro was running with SP1 and right
now my Windows XP pro has no SP1. Would it be a problem about Access Denied
on the NTFS partition? Right now, my box can't go online because the NIC
driver and all other drivers (including XP SP1) is in the NTFS partition.

Can some one please help me out?

Thanks.

Hi;
Most likely the drive was "C:" as a stand alone.
Part of the domain it isn't anymore.
The "center hub" or central, master PC owns the "C:"
The solutions becomes obvious. New letter is ???

The C: on my box was FAT32 and right now also FAT32. The NTFS dirve was E:
and now it's still E:

I will try out your solution and see if it works.

Thanks.

You need to take "ownership" of the drive.
Go to my computer and right click on your E:
Select properties and advanced
Select Owner tab at the top.
Add the local account.

That should return your rights to view the disk.

However, after reacquiring access to your E: drive by
Taking Ownership, if you ever plan to use the install of
XP on E: again they you should reapply the NTFS security
settings. Taking Ownership and allowing it to grant NTFS
permissions to Administrators will leave that partition far
out of whack for normal use.
