Merged Partitions - Now can't access files!!
Posted by Nel on July 27th, 2005


I merged one partition into a folder of another using Partition Magic -
there was no errors during this process.

Now when I try to access this folder, I get "Access Denied" error as if I
don't have the privilages although I am set as Adminstrator on the account.

Any idea how I can re-access these files?

TIA

Try re-taking ownership of the files/folders

In XPHome, reboot into Safe Mode, right click on the files/folders, and
select Security

In XPPro, just right click on the files/folders and select Security.

Sorted now, thanks everyone who helped!!

Rock, why do you say that the groups posted where unnecessary? I chose
groups that I felt were appropriate to the query. Sorry if you felt this
was inappropriate.

I just felt you posted to too many groups. But anyway, glad you have it
fixed. What was the resolution?
