I had two desktops, one XP and another Vista. The XP machine started to freeze frequently and eventually refused to boot. Repairing it didn't work so I decided to transfer the files from the hard disk I needed and then reinstall XP afterwards. I connected the disk to the Vista machine to transfer the file (most are in the profile folders).
Every time I try to access the profile folders on the old disk, Vista is telling me I don't have permission to access it. The security tab lists some Unknown Users having full control for these folder. I am unable to change the permission for those folders.
I am doing this as an administrator on the Vista machine. All I want to do is copy the files from the XP profile folders on the old disk to the Vista PC. Can you help please?
Thanks
Diffuser, Kyle thanks for the help. This CMD allowed me to login as Admin. Then I could take ownership of the files. – Sivakanesh – 2010-11-11T01:13:48.350
