Hi there,

I have to retrieve some data from an old NT4 sp6 server from a company we've
taken over, and I don't have access to the admin password. So I jumped on
with my copies of ntfs4dos and l0phtcrack in hand only to find ntfs4dos
wouldn't recognize any ntfs partitions.

Using PM8.0 I saw that the system volume was mirrored across 2 old 2gig
disks, so I assume this is the problem. System does boot OK so its not a
BIOS problem. Tried both ntfs4dos 3.5 and 4pro.

Does anyone know a way around this?

TIA,
Jamie.
