Returning my access right, Vista!

I Lost My Access Right to My Harddrive With Microsoft Vista

I really do not want to go through the hassle with no right to access my own files on my own computer.

I did a clean install on my Vista over the weekend and replaces my Hard drive with 320GB from 200GB which is a 3 years old drive. To my surprise I can no longer view some of my files from my old partitions.

I’m Not Alone

Google it up I found out I’m not alone facing this dilemma. How very pretty! You can, however, fix the problem “one by one”!

Assigning Ownership Permission to your files in Microsoft Vista.

Asign Permission To Files in Vista

Step 1

On your file, right click> Properties> Security> Advanced> Owner> Edit> Continue> Other Users or groups> Advanced> Find Now> Double click any user you like>”OK” all the way till it closes entire the menu

Step 2

On the same file again, right click> properties> Security> Advanced> Edit> Add> Advanced> Find Now> Double click the user you have choose earlier> OK> under “allow” Click “Full control”> OK> OK

Now you can view your file.

Doesn’t Work For Me with Too Many Files

I can’t use these step to assign my files, simply too many files to go through. I need Vista Hotfix.

For now… I’m living my files in zombie stat.

  1. Dont you see “free” ? )
    Well.. if .iso from the net burned onto DVD can be genuine ))) It is. It just works ))
    Not planning to use. Maybe whenever i will need DirectX10 to play somthing.. (will need new graphics card before.. and overally new PC..) not very soon )

  3. I have a “free” windows vista ultimate with working enterprise key, no need activation
    damn slow, uninstalled )

  5. btw, since linux fully supports NTFS you can use any modern distribution LiveCD to access files on NTFS disk, try to boot and copy )

  6. depends on the content, *nix may have problems with copyright protected content with things like DRM etc etc

  7. Dear Silvy,

    I have seen Ubuntu in action. The only thing that I can’t live without is the coolness of OS or their apps. It’s to plain. I am a Home media freak… can’t live without my Window Media center off even when I’m not watching TV or Movie. I want to save my time from trying to fix the whole thing on a UNIX base system hehehhee

    I think there are plenty of apps to meet my needs right? But I am still not convincing on the “coolness” part LOL I’m a freak!

    Cheers

    P/s Too much relying on commercial products make me this way LOL

  8. sorry cant suggest you anything but – use linux or older and better xp ))
    blocking access to files is quite evil , damm ) one more reason not_to_use vista
