Re: Setting some access rights on a multi-boot system

Hi all,

I installed 2 hard drives in a single computer and installed Windows
twice : one time first disk and the second time on the second disk.
Consequently, the 2 person can work independently not polluting the
system of the other one (it is like it is 2 PC in one)

I still have a problem : I would like to forbid one user to access the
disk of the other.
I would like both user be able to log in as Administrator because they
both want to be able to install some software.

Is there a way to set some access rights so one user can not access
the disk of the other ?

Thanks in advance for your help.


Create strong passwords on all user accounts, including the built-in Administrator account, on both installations and don't give those passwords to the other user. This will only prevent the other user from logging into system for which he doesn't have the password.

There is no other way to do this if you have the same user accounts and passwords on both installations and make the users Administrators.
