I don't know if I'm am asking the question right or phrasing it in a way
some one will pick it up, but I'm hoping it will make since.
I'm running Windows 2000 Pro. I have multiple partitions, but the two main
ones I use are the C and D partitions. I used the D partition to hold all of
my data and misc programs that I don't have to install on the C partition.
From time to time, I reformat and reinstall Windows 2K. After the process is
over. When I go to the security tab of Properties on any of the other
partitions, under name there is usually a "strange" name for the names of
the groups that have access to the partition. It usually starts off like
"S-1-5-21-10-1085031214...". Now this name that looks like a serial number,
replaces what would be the name of the names of the groups that have access
to the partition. When I go into the Advanced button and change the Owner,
then I can go back out and take out the "serial number" and re-add the
normal groups to have access.
I would like to know what does the "serial number" stand for. Does it
represents the groups because I changed the partitions overall by
reformatting and reinstalling Windows 2K? And if so, can the "serial
number"be changed to reflect the actual names and all of the data can be
intact? I'm just lost on it. And info will be appreciated.
