Re: Recovering data from a slave drive

Hi,

Was your problem that you did not see the Security tab?

In that case (from KB article 308421):

<quote>
If you are running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, you must start
the computer in safe mode, and then log on with an account that has
Administrative rights to have access to the Security tab.

If you are using Windows XP Professional, you must disable Simple File
Sharing.

I have tried that and I can not access the slave drive, it only allows me to see what is on the master drive for profiles. Is there any other way of recovering this data. I can see the entire drive through windows explorer and can access everything except that one profile. Any other suggestions?

I had problems booting up windows xp, tried to reinstall xp,
did not work.  I know have a different hard drive as my
master and the problem hard drive as a slave.  I am trying
to get my documents and pictures off the problem hard drive
and keep getting an error message when i try to access my
profile.  Is there any way of getting into this file to
recover the data.  Any suggestions would be helpful.


You need to take ownership of the files. Take a look here for
the procedure:

Note: If you are running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, you
must start the computer in safe mode, and then log on with an
account that has Administrative rights to have access to the
Security tab. To start in Safe Mode, reboot your computer and
start tapping the F8 key as soon as you see anything displayed
on the screen. Keep hitting F8 until the Advanced Startup
Options menu appears. Use the up and down arrow keys on your
keyboard to select Safe Mode. Hit Enter.

Good luck
