| 125796 | 2003-03-05 19:47:00 | Ok, I have three partitions on my computer. I had permissions on the E: which has all my school work for this year and person information on it. I made it so that only "Blues Boy" (My user name) could only get into the driver. Then stuff happened to my computer and I reformatted the C: drive and reinstalled XP Pro. My user name is still Blues Boy but I CANT get into the driver. I am the administrator but I can't change the "security" setting tab in the hard drive options!!!! What do I do??? BTW: OS = Win XP Pro (both times). I have looked in Locial Security setting in aministrator tools but can't see any thing in there. Any help would be good. Also, reformating the E: partition is NOT an option, I need all the information on it. |

| 125798 | 2003-03-05 20:45:00 | Excuse while I have a laugh (hahahahaha - that's better) Let me guess - the drive was formatted NTFS and you can't remember how you altered the access permissions. Open My Computer Right click the drive/folder Select Properties Select the Security tab Click Advanced Add the user (take ownership) Give the new user Full Control Press OK twice How did loss of access happen? NTFS folder/file security. Either learn how to use it or don't play with what you don't understand. Read my second reply to your previous inquiry. |

Guess how many times Ive formatted my Linux partition on my PC?? Probably a good 15 or so in the past couple o months!!!!! Trial and error dude B-) |

| 125800 | 2003-03-05 22:19:00 | Try adding a permission called 'Administrators' and give full acess. that could help. If all else fails, get a copy of linux and install it on another partition. Linux can access fat32,ntfs partitions well. You can then copy the data you need to another partition so you can access it. |
