Permissions and file access

[Nick Cumberbatch]

I am using XP Pro. I recently had to reformat my hard drive. In
preparation I did a backup of
selected files and folders using Nero 8.

After reinstalling Xp, I did a restore with Nero. I noticed during the
process, a number of files received the following: System error 1307: This
security ID may not be assigned as the owner

After the restore, I click on some of the folders and I get an "Access
Denied" error. Ihad the same results using XP backup and restore utility.
I am the only user with administrator privileges. I use two computers in a
home wireless network with file sharing.

How can I correct this problem.

See if taking ownership helps.
