Accessing NTFS drive

[spionfox]

My daughters PC is fecked. I have taken the HD and put it in a USB caddy and plugged it into my PC. Problem is I cannot access her 'My Documents' folder - get permission denied.

Looked on the web for solutions but none of them have worked so far.

Got WinXP Home. (Yes, I've booted into SAFE mode and accessed the security tab but no luck.)

Ubuntu won't let me mount the drive either.

Any ideas? Thanks ever so XXXXX

Have you tried taking ownership of the folder?

Yep.

Well, I booted into SAFE mode, went to properties and changed ownership to ALL but still no luck :icon_sad:

Bollocks. Trying to mount the drive and get the following:

X hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000

Had a similar problem and used a program called Unlocker v 1.8.7.

Give this a try spion, Bart's PE. I had a similar problem in the past and this did the trick.

Didn't work for me - but thanks anyway.

Won't load the relevant partition - but thanks anyway.

Combination of 'Active Password Changer' and UBDC4W (Ultimate Boot CD for Windows) meant that I have salvaged her files!

Now to read her MSN message logs before she wakes up :icon_lol:

Anything from Richard Stearman there?

Perhaps if our team had properly stuffed Orient then my excitement quotient would have been satisfied!

I'll let you know. This may take a while!


BTW - I'm not really going through her message logs, that was a joke. I believe in giving my kids a certain amount of trust that I hope benefits us all in the long run!
