I backed up some files on to my external USB harddrive.

I then re-installed winXP on my laptop, now I can't access the files I
backedup on my USB harddrive.

I can see the USB harddrive in explorer and I can go into folders but I
cannot open any of the files up or copy them to my desktop.

I tried to changed the ownership of the files, but I get an error message
saying access denied.

I tried to use the subinACL util. but it doesn't work.

Can anyone help.. please!!!

Hi Peter,

From the root, did you add yourself, give yourself Full Control, then
drill down folder by folder to do the same thing? You may have to
remove prior ownership info after giving yourself full control.
Changing ownership won't work if you don't have more control than the
others.
