Re: Can I mount a partition read only?



Yes according to Mark Russinovich and David Solomon in this MSDN article
http://crawlmsdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc302206.aspx

The relevant line says "NTFS can mount read-only media and has better security defaults"

PS Maybe you need to be more specific with your question

Hi,

is it possible to (re-)mount a NTFS partition on a hard drive as read only
(in Windows XP)?
