Default Windows XP Backup/Restore Program "Access is denied"

I recently restored a folder from a windows backup that was created by
Microsoft Backup program. (Both hardrive and backup drive are NTFS). Once
restored I cannot access the folder because it says "Access is Denied". I
am the administrator with full access. Moreover after restoring gigabytes I
cannot delete it either!! I have permission to see that files in the
restore program.

Now after working on it for awhile I noticed that I can restore the folder
to its original location, but when I tell it to restore to an alternate
location it prevents me from accessing it.

So anyone know how I can delete the folder that denies me access?

Thanks

At start-up,tap the F8 key,select safe mode with networking,enter xp as
administrator,locate the folder then delete it.

You will need to take ownership over restored folder.
If you are running XP pro - stop using simple file share if you are
(Explorer - tools - folder options, view, untick simple file share).
Then, folder properties, security tab, advanced, owner, tick replace owner
on subcontainers and objects.
If you have Xp home - I'm afraid you will have to do the same in safe mode.
Or, if you up to do it from command prompt, google for xcacls.

Well neither worked. When I log in as adiminstrator I can only see the
administrator folders and get "access denied" when I try to navigate to the
folder I want to delete. I am suspecting there is something special about
the folder.

Originally ithe backup was performed from a folder located under "Desktop"
and when it restored it, I tried to place it under "My Music"
Under "My music" I got a hierarchy of folders of which I can click all until
I get to the acutal music folder. Then access denied.

I am using XP professional and did uncheck "simple file sharing". More
thoughts?

thanks

to access security tab, right click on folder you have 'access denied',
choose 'preperites' from drop down menu, then follow the steps in my
original message to take ownership.

Thanks that got me mostly there. After doing what you said it still had
access denied but then I went to the 'Properties File sharing' tab and
clicked network sharing and security and viola got access.

thanks

I see this fairly often. Someone posts with nothing but quoted text.
What does that mean?


Replying to an 11 year old post ?


This is the one and only post in the thread from
11 years ago.

http://al.howardknight.net/msgid.cgi...P10.phx.gbl%3E

There is a person or persons, who attempt to sell
their B K P recovery software, who advertise in this
group. So maybe there will be a "drive by" post soon
about some stupid software.

With so many free and functional backup softwares
available today, nobody should be doing it the old
way.
