Hi

Is it possible that a non-admnistrator can adjust the permission/seceruty of hard drive
There's someone who've got serious problems. He can't run WindowsXP anymore. After listening his story, I suspect he accidently change his hard drive (C:\) security setting to deny everyone. Now, Windows can't start anymore. In my opinion, he has to format his harddrive again, but is there any chance he can het his old data back

Some got this problem before

Tnx in advance

Greetings

They have some good utilities to recover info.

If what you say was in fact done, and there is a Deny to
Everyone on the system/boot partition, the one best hope
would be hanging the drive as a secondary on another
XP/W2k/W2k3 machine and redoing the permissions.
