Permission error accessing files
Recently I had a Windows XP machine die so I pulled the hard drive and put it
in an external case and everything seems fine except when I try to pull the files from the drive and put them on my new PC (running Windows 7) I get a permissions error that states, "You'll need to provide administrator permission to copy this file." So I right click on the file and select properties, then security, select continue, and select my user ID and click apply and OK...but, when I then go to copy it I get the same error. I also, gave myself admin access on the drive: My computer, select drive, select properties, security, grant my user full control, and still I get the error message. Any help is greatly appreciated! |

Look into *taking ownership* as opposed to just granting yourself permissions. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |
