ntfs partition permissions

[Guest Goncalo]

Hi,

I have a partition in which I defined the permissions incorrectly.

I have defined some kind of read permissions for the administrator, and now

I can't access the partition. It says "<Drive>: is not accessible".

Does anyone know how to reset ntfs permissions for a directory?

 

Would really appreciate some help on this.

Thanks

In windows Explorer you go in on the partition which must have a drive name.

Right Click on that and go for properties - from there on you can set

permissions as you like.

Thanks for your answer,

My problem is that I don't have even access to set properties for that

partition.

So in the limit you can set the permissions so that nowone can see the

partition, not even yourself. Thats what I did accidentally (or I think I

did!).

 

So, any idea for resetting that permissions?

You have to seize ownership of the problem folders. Click

Start / Help, then search for "ownership" or "permissions".

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.
