Um, this KB article says has the following note right off:
You must be logged on to the computer with an account that has
administrative credentials. If you are running Microsoft Windows XP Home
Edition, you must start the computer in safe mode, and then log on with an
account that has Administrative rights to have access to the Security tab.
My whole point is that I am not logged into the windows partition that
contains the file because the hd fails to load properly. I am accessing
this hd using a different version of Windows XP. (Loading XP Pro where NTFS
security permissions can be assigned. In XP Home it's either making folders
private or not.) For some reason though, the "make private" selection of
Home is locking me out when accessed through Professional.
The problem has been solved as I re-attempted a chkdks /r on the unmountable
volume and was able to repair it (temporarily - getting replacement hd from
Dell) and log in directly to remove privacy option.
My curiosity remains about making an NTFS->FAT32 conversion though...did
not think that type of conversion was possible. Any NTFS/FAT32/security
gurus out there?
