Safe Mode

M

Michael

I have Windows XP Home and I have an external E: drive
that I use for backup. It's a 40gb Iomega. I had to
reinstall my original software on my C: drive laptop
after a virus. The E: drive was unaffected. I can access
everything accept the "Owner" files on the E: drive. To
gain ownership of these files, requires that I get into
the "safe mode". This is necessary to have access to
the "security tab" in the folder properties. The
procedure to get into safe mode using the f8 key does
nothing. This may be Operator Error. What is the "exact
steps" to get into safe mode.

Thanks Michael
