This probably came up here several times, but frankly, nothing worked.
I have a drive with Vista Home Premium installation, and several other
with various versions of XP. They are completely independent drives
(no dual boot/install), all bootable with their own respectable os.
The problem is I need access to XP system files - like boot.ini - from
Vista, all because of various security issues (otherwise I would just
boot XP drive and be done with it). Access as in 'read'. I don't need
to copy, delete or modify those files, but I really need to open them.
Even taking ownership of those files did not allow me to do so.
So, the question is how can I browse XP system files from the
independent hd using Vista? (or how add myself as the 'creator' of
those files).
I'll appericiate any help.
