Cider...I dont understand your post???
you are trying to run an application in XP?? and you get this??
Are you refering to another thread??
MLF
Edit>Ok...now I see it...did you try and take ownership??
AFAIK you cannot go backwards with file systems ...only forward. So you have to do what Nihil says...
How did you back this data up??
The error you get sounds like you are trying to run applications??
Hey there MLF,
I tried everything to take ownership. Well the data was on a partition and I didn't format that particular partition.
So the music, data, word docs that I created while running vista is not accessible. I get not a valid App error.
Ok..I am not understanding here
Is XP formatted NTFS??
What happens when you right click the folder\file...do you see a security tab??
When do you get this error???
How has the partition created???
MLF
Yo,
yeah its NTFS. Cant change anything under the security TAB, get an access denied error no matter which user and/or safe mode.
I get the error when trying to open the word doc, music file or whatever. The files \ folders are highlighted like when you compress the files but I different color.
Partition was created as NTFS.
Something to do with the partition maybe?
I can see no reason that you cant access an NTFS partition unless the system account was removed from the permissions
according to this article from MS you should be able to access the drive...

Can you copy the data to your XP partition??
I am thinking you should follow Nihils advice..slave it into vista and check\reset permissions.
Or try a data recovery software.

If you go to Disk Management, what is the status of the volume?
Right-click my computer, manage, disk management
CSR - The partition under status is healthy (system) and my XP parition is (boot).
MLF - no I cannot copy, access denied.
I have added myself and system with full permissions to the partition.
The partition isnt the problem , it is the actual data with the permission issue.
You are logged on as admin of the XP machine...and you can set the permissions on the partition...but not the files??
Are you going into advanced??? where you push the permissions down through all the folders and files???/
