Hello group,
If this is not the correct group for my question, please
suggest the appropriate group.
I'm doing some service on a friend's computer. Windows has
been damaged in some way, to where I cannot get it to boot,
even in safe mode. Boot hangs part way through.
I took the hard drive of the computer with Windows damage
and put in another computer as a second drive, in order to
save data files before wiping drive and doing a fresh
install of Windows.
One user has set their folders to private, so i cannot
access them to save the data contained within.
As I cannot boot to Windows on the computer wit the damage,
i cannot set that person's folders to be veiwable.
I did some looking on the Internet and found xcacls.vbs,
which I THINK I can use to change the folder's access
permissions in DOS, so I can then access te folder from my
other computer.
I am very rusty with DOS and have been unable to get the
correct command sequence. I am simply trying to VIEW the
folder and its settings. Once I can do that, I'll tackle
changing its permissions.
The setup is as follows:
Drive in question is F drive folder is called Danielle
Robocti and is located within Documents and Settings
I have xcacls.vbx located in root folder of F drive.
Have tried xcacls.vbc
f:\Documents_and_Settings\Danielle_Robocti and several
variations, but keep getting told folder cannot be found.
I'm pretty sure I have not typed something quite right.
Hoping someone ca help with this. If so, perhaps you could
also tell me the command to allow access to the folder
within Windows. That is, take the "private" setting off of
the folder.
If xcacls.vbs is not the right way to go about this,
perhaps you could suggest a way i COULD get access to the
folder.
Any help anyone can offer would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance fr any assistance you can offer

With the problem hard drive installed on your working computer
as a slave you need to take ownership of the folders you're
trying to save. Take a look here for the procedure:

Note: 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. To start in Safe Mode, reboot your computer and
start tapping the F8 key as soon as you see anything displayed
on the screen. Keep hitting F8 until the Advanced Startup
Options menu appears. Use the up and down arrow keys on your
keyboard to select Safe Mode. Hit Enter.
Good luck
