Some software issue (system running win xp pro) came up a
couple days ago and I had to reformat the drive (safe mode
and "repair reinstall" didn't help) and did a clean
install. I imaged my hard drive to another one before I
did the reinstall, but when I tried to copy the files from
the imaged drive to the newly installed win xp, it told me
that "access is denied". I think it might have something
to do with the password I had in my previous installation
of windows. Does anyone know how to get around this
problem?
 
Well I didn't use any command - I just installed a fresh
copy of windows xp pro on one hard drive, then connected
the imaged hard drive as a secondary drive and started
the "copy and paste" process but it wouldn't let me.
