Guest chrayres Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I'm having similar issues similar to this. I created my own topic since all scenarios that I've looked up are different and don't seem to work. This one might work, but I think I'm doing something wrong. I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2. I formatted my C: and 3 of 7 folders on my F: are now giving me issues, says Access is Denied. I used to fix it in the Security tab but there isn't one showing. I'm the only user and I'm logged in as the admin. The folder says that there's 0 files and 0 bytes, I only have 70gb free on a 465gb HDD but the folders only add up to 174gb. So there's a couple hundred gigs that are on the drive but are not counting. I tried the solution given here by going to the cmd prompt, switching to the F: (by typing F: and hitting enter. When I try the commands listed it says that 'takeown' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file. The folder in question is at this path: F:\desktop. I cannot access that folder through the command prompt either. I can access other folders on the drive, just not the 3 in question. There is another thread at 'http://forums.techarena.in/operating-systems1058851.htm\' (http://forums.techarena.in/operating-systems/1058851.htm) that I created originally. Any help is appreciated. -- chrayres ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chrayres's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/chrayres.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-security/757183.htm http://forums.techarena.in Quote

Guest chrayres Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 yeah I dont know what that means. maybe like a super easy graphical button I can push and check a little radio button or something would be more up my alley. -- chrayres ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chrayres's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/chrayres.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-security/757183.htm http://forums.techarena.in Quote
Guest huhansen318@hotmail.com Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I think that some data maybe damaged or the uninstall of the system causes some problems of recognizing you right to read the files , though existing, but not being available through the file management of the operating system. It is certainly not available through command line. If you want to have your data recovered, you may use some professional software such as Handy Recovery, or asking professional data rescue team for help. And, I've no idea about the meaning of 'takeown'. Opinion above is only for reference. Make your own decision.

Guest Jimmy Brush Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 FYI the OP has resolved this issue at another forum by disabling simple file sharing, which turns on the security tab in XP. - JB "chrayres" <chrayres.3hnonc@DoNotSpam.com> wrote in message news:chrayres.3hnonc@DoNotSpam.com...<span style="color:blue"> > > I'm having similar issues similar to this.
