I copied files for another computer on to a hard drive then connected it to another. A message in DOS saying : “invalid security ID. Replacing security ID”. After that some files can’t be read as corrupted. Is there ways to correct these unreadable files as they were fine before the transfer.

Both computers have windows 2000. Thanks.

434017 2006-02-26 22:20:00 Thanks, I have checked the site out before, but it did not help. I have still got another drive that was copied for the same computer. I have not yet connected to view the copied files. I am wondering if there anything I could do now to prevent the same error. Thanks. lightfoot (39)
