Win Vista - Access is denied

[Guest]

Hi,

I backed up all my data to a spare HD and then did a clean install of
Windows Vista. After the install I hooked up the spare HD to copy back the
data and got an error message stating that "D:\ is not accessible" and
"Access is denied".

Vista detected the HD correctly and the volume was visible in Disk
Management. Looked in Event Viewer and no hint of what the problem might be.
The security tab would not show up for that volume. I'm using build 5270.

Anyone see this before?

Thanks,
Jose Henrique

Why are you posting this to an *XP* group? Are all MCSEs as thick as you?

Why don't you ask in a Windows Vista group?

This is a Windows XP group.

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general

But the OP is an /MSCE/ Allegedly.......

Well I know that not all "Registered Linux Users" are as rude as you, so I'm
going to guess than applying generalisations to large groups in the way you
tried to doesn't really work.

I agree that the post was off topic though.

Nothing rude about it at all. "MCSE" is supposed to be the top of the
range MS qualification....if the OP can't differentiate between an XP
group and a Vista group, then I would have serious problems with employing
him......

Credentials do not equate to experience. Knowing the path is not walking
the path. Some get certification based on experience and require little
book preparation; however, most just do lots of book learning to get the
certs and have little or no experience. They don't mean much to employers
unless certificate-related experience time is also included. You can get an
advanced WinRunner certificate in 4 days but you have no real-world
experience (and definitely no QA expertise, either).

Of course, even the best make mistakes. Could be the OP just didn't bother
to read the download page to see where to get support.

Since you are an official BETA tester. Contact MS for the fix.

Plato;
TechNet and MSDN subscribers also have access to Vista Build 5270, so the OP
may not be a Beta tester.

 

[Wesley Vogel]

What would you call someone that is using a beta operating system?

I happen to be an XP tester. ;-)

So what would you call them then? Vista Build testers?

TechNet subscribers, MSDN subscribers depending on the source.
What they are called depends on the source of the software.

But then again, what is an "official BETA tester", that is not Microsoft
terminology.
But there are members of the Technical Beta.

I would more likely say they are previewing it if they are not part of the
Technical Beta.
However I do know some MSDN and TechNet subscribers are also part of the
Technical Beta.
For the most part they are previewing it for their own purpose with little
direct interaction with Microsoft unlike the Technical Beta testers.
