RE: Document recovery

These articles might help, although I'm unfamiliar with the recovery of Word
documents. Thes documents all deal with permissions, ownership, and access
denied errors.

Please be aware that the changing of these settings is a bit flakey - and
may reuire repeated attempts on the folder and sub-folders to get it to work.
Also, you might want to use a free NTFS to DOS reader to copy the files to a
FAT32 file system - this'll effectively strip all the permissions from the
file. I know others who have used a Live Linux distro, such as Knoppix, to
recover their files.

Good luck - this can be frustrating!
