oXide 0 Posted September 11, 2001 I was having probs w/ my win2k installation so I installed winxp 2600. It was aight, but I was still seeing probs so I copied important files to my D drive, formated my C, and reinstalled XP from scratch. Now, inside of XP I cant access those damn folders!!! IT says Access Denied. Whats up with that. I am logged on as an admin as well.... all the other things I can open on my D drive, but the ones that I created while I was in XP last time I cannot HELP ME PLEASE. I AM GOING TO SHUTOFF COMPUTER IN THE MIDDLE OF LOW LEVEL FORMAT AND THROW CHASSIS OUT THE WINDOW INTO LAKE Share this post Link to post
oXide 0 Posted September 11, 2001 I dont think I did. I mean you activley have to do something for this to happen right? I didn't encrypt anything. Share this post Link to post
Xiven 0 Posted September 11, 2001 As long as you didn't encrypt them (which you probably didn't) you should be able to take ownership of the files provided you have local administrator rights. Right-clik the folder, go to security, add yourself as a user with access and apply to all subfolders and files Share this post Link to post
