I'm going to reinstall my windows xp pro.
All documents, application and system settings data
shall be backed up on the ntfs partition not
being formatted during the reinstallation process.
The system itself shall be installed on the same partition
it stays now. So I will invoke the disc formatting
during installation.
I have some question concerning the backup data
on a ntfs partition after win reinstallation is finished.
Do I need to set special user access privilages to the
backup directories ? Do I have access problems to
backup data if the old windows accounts do not more
exist on the new installation ? The backups will be created
from a restricted windows account before the reinstallation
starts. Maybe I do not set the old accounts on new windows.
At the moment there are two accounts defined. One
with administrative privilages (own defined, not windows default admin)
and one with restricted.
The first is used for adminstrative tasks only and the latter
for normal work.
On my machine there is a special ntfs partition for all
documents. Here shall be placed the backup as well.
The partition is configured the way, the restricted account
has an access to all folders.
Should I make the backup from the administrative or restricted account
I can access the backups after the system is new installed ?
By the way: all directories on that disc have the read-only attribute.
I am not able to reset this attribute. The restricted user is owner
of some folders and the own defined administrator of the remainings.
Why does it occur ?
I wanted to test my autorun.inf file but it is not working.
Maybe due to some mysterious disk/folders configuration.
The not removeable read-only attribute is indicating me such problem.
