HD Drive recovery security
I am in the process of removing a HD from a bad box and slaving it in another
system. The one profile I need access to (my own) wont let me into it. I have access to the contents of everything else on that drive, but not this one. The error message reads that i do not have permission- access denied. I am using a IDE to USB external conversion housing. Is there anyway I can get into this data- three years of good stuff there! -- Helping when I can, getting it when I must! |

My account is defaulted to admin- is there another setting as there is no
"Security" tab in the properties display. |

What operating system? In the case of Windows XP home you'll need to start
safe mode. -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup. Microsoft Certified Professional Microsoft MVP [Windows] http://www.microsoft.com/protect | "Security" tab in the properties display. |

Restart the computer and F8 at windows starting, then choose 'Safe Mode'
boot, then logon as local administrator. The security tab should now be available so you can take ownership. -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.

HD Drive recovery security
When I restart and press F8, th compter starts normally with a screen that
tells me I have opted to change settings. Please select to the approprite setting - normal / limited / custom- I chose limited as that seems to be closest to the safe mode I remember. I then restart the computer again and it comes up with limited driver support. There is no "local admin" logon- the only account is the one I configured when I got it. This is a laptop (Toshiba) and could there be differences in the windows? I am going totry the f8 route again, but will have to try some other option soon. |
