Guest wolf99 Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Hi I have a xp HDD from my old laptop (which is dead) and have new vista laptop. got IDE to USB cable, and worked ok, but cant get proper full accesss to anything in the users folder, ie my music, my docs etc. I especially need the music and pics. Ive tried taking ownership but the changhes dont seem to popergate, changing permissions wont propergate without propergated ownerships all the files seem to be read only (the files not the folders, the readonly tick box has a square in it not a tick) If I try to change the read only status or copythe files, even as administrator with full ownership and controll I still get access denied error for the files I seem to have been able to change the permissions on one artist folder by muddling through a maze of properties windows but cant do this for every bottom level folder, ther would be hundreds!! also tried the windows easy transfer, but it wont let me tell it that the files I want to retrive are actually already on the attached drive.. aargghh. any help VERY much appreciated -- wolf99 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wolf99's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/89306.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-security/1159626.htm http://forums.techarena.in Quote
