778973 2009-06-02 03:38:00 Hey Guys,

I've made an image of a customers hdd, reinstalled windows home (Previously was home aswell), I have tried exploring the Customers user but it says access denied, we've gone through the usual steps of changing the permissions etc.

What I thought of doing is Restoring the Image onto a harddrive, boot onto it, change the permissions to everyone, then image it again.

2 questions, would this work ^ and is there an easier way to do it?

Thanks in advance :D

778974 2009-06-02 03:46:00 You'll have to take ownership (support.microsoft.com) of it. Or this (support.microsoft.com). If thats what you mean. The other permissions is only available in Pro. You would have to boot into safe mode to do it in Home Speedy Gonzales (78)

If you're using Vista you can add "Take Ownership" to the context menu. Will make things easier
