NTFS permissions...

G

Guillermo

I have a computer that has a second hard drive, formatted NTFS, and the
users only have access to their folders.
What happens if I remove that hard drive and install it in another system?
Are the files not going to be accessible to anybody?
Does is work if I create same usernames? Do admins have access anyways? Are
the permissions going to be gone and everything would be accesible to
everybody?
I'm just not sure how NTFS permissions work (or where they are stored)

thanks

I think permissions for any external groups(i.e. created manually) are going
to be gone. I have seen that, when we move hdd to another computer, the
username
is displayed as some cryptic number. Creating the same username on that
computer
doesnt help either. I am too interested in solutin of this problem.
