yes, sir, i know the sids are from the previous installs.

the problem is, i can not get write access to the acls to change the
permissions.
thus, i can not delete the sids.

and, in any case, there would also have to be an acl entry granting
permission with respect to the logged-on user, would there not?

as i said previously, the acls are untouchable with either Windows Explorer
or xcacls.
this is true on all directories on all partitions except the system
partition.

i have now discovered some files and directories to which i, as
Administrator no longer have either read or write access.

this means this rebuild has made all my partitions other than my system
partition for the most part unusable.

1) is it possible to create a user account for some of these inherited sids?
if so how?

2) is there any way to obtain in Windows 2000 what under Unix is superuser
privilege?

i need some way to get write access to these acls.

how can Microsoft have created such a hellish mess?
