Sorry, but I'm out of ideas. Looks like you did everything right.
aura2, this is a WinXP system? Do you have EFS enabled? Have you done
to see if the file has anything in it as well as to see the permissions of the file?Quote:
ls -l /mnt/hda2/WINDOWS/system32/config/system
This is what i get from doing ls -l of system file
Code:-r-xr-xr-x 1 knoppix knoppix 7864320 Mar 28 15:07 /mnt/hda2/WINDOWS/system32/config/system
And you are running this while your present working directory is the ram drive?
Yes i have WinXP home edition, and im not sure what you mean by EFS..Quote:

Yes i am in the /ramdisk/ directoryQuote:

What user are you logged in as? (you can type id to find out). Kinda grasping straws.. another odd thought would be to copy the file to outside of the Windows directory so:
cp /mnt/hda2/WINDOWS/system32/config/system .
EFS=encrypted file system
i am logged in under root, my filesystem is ntfs and i also copied the system file to ramdisk and tried it but it was the same error.
