Hello guys!
I am currently having a problem accessing a Windows XP backup that I made few months ago with “Acronis True Image”.
This is the situation, few months ago I decided to give it a try to Windows 7 so I removed Windows XP SP3 Pro from my Desktop PC, before doing this I installed “Acronis True Image” backup software in order to backup my Windows XP Partition to my external Hard Drive. Now that I have Windows 7 all good, I mounted my Windows XP partition backup with Acronis True Image, but for some reason I am not been able to access my Windows XP User folder ( I:\Documents and Settings\My Username ), I am able to access all my other usernames except this one which had a user account password. The error message that I am getting is:
“You don't currently have permission to access this folder.
Click continue to permanently get access to this folder.”
When I click "Continue" I get this error message:
“You have been denied permission to access this folder.
To gain access to this folder you will need to use the "security tab".
So I right click the folder, Properties, Security Tab, Advanced, Owner... when I click "Edit" I get this message:
“You only have permission to view the current owner on User name”
I also followed this guide (http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2204/vista_how_to_take_ownership_system_file/)
but when I enter this command:
takeown /f filepath I am having problem with the filepath since I believe my file path is: I:\Documents and Settings\User name
This is the error message that I get when entering the above command:
Error: Invalid argument/option - "and"-
Hopefully somebody can give me a hand with this, I really need to gain access to my backup partition.
Many Thanks!
