drive security settings
Hi everyone !I'd like to talk about an issue i encountered today - i've got a workaround but i'm guessing there's another, direct way. Here it goes:I have a Intel quadcore system with Winsows Vista Enterprise installed on it. The hdd has two partitions: C & D. I have played around with the security settings on drive D, messing everything up and removing permissions to everyone but me/my user).For some reason, even though i theoretically had ntfs permissions, i couldn't access the drive, no matter what I did.Tried accessing it with local admin credentials; tried running chkdsk from an elevated command prompt - nothing.Tried connecting the hdd to another Vista Ent machine - same thing - couldn't access the drive, couldn't take owenership on anything. I couldn't even see what files/folders were on it. I had no Security tab from either Vista machine.The workaround I found was to connect the hdd to an XP Pro machine and took ownership on everything & re-set the drive permissions.My question would be: is there a way to solve such problems via Vista ?
