Getting into a Vista directory from W2K?

[Guest ***** charles]

Hi all,

 

I removed a hd from a laptop that had Vista Basic on it.

I connected the hd to an old clone that I have that has

Windows 2000 Pro SP4 on it. The laptop hd is a SATA

and I have a SATA card in the clone. The driver loaded

just fine and I can see the two partitions on the laptop hd.

Problem is I need to drill down into My Documents on

the laptop hd to copy my documents off the thing. When

I click on the My Documents directory I get

F:\Documents and Settings is not accessable.

Access is denied.

I know there is stuff in there and that this is a permisions

problem but how do I take ownership of the directory

so I can read/copy the files I need?

 

thanks,

charles....

As long as encryption isn't involved as a local administrator you can take

ownership. Explorer|"folder"|File|Properties|Security|Advanced|Owner and

take ownership.

Hi Charles,

 

"Documents and Settings" doesn't really exist anymore on Vista (it's a

softlink, sort of like a shortcut), and Windows XP (and I'm assuming 2k)

does not recognize it and you will receive an access denied error. It now

points to a "Users" file, so you should find your files on

F:\Users\<username>
