GreenSkyRoad Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) I used partition find and mount to find a Windows XP NTFS partition that I had on one of my older drives.I was very glad when it was able to create a full image of the 80GB partition.However, when I mount the partition in Windows 7 using this same software, I am not able to access or copy many of the files on the disk due to NTFS ownership and permissions.Partition find and mount only allows mounting the image in a "hardware" read only mode for the purposes of data integrity, so I'm not able to modify the permissions on these folders!How can I get my data off of this image?

Tripredacus Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Have you tried taking ownership of the files? I had to do that when I took a data drive from my old XP PC and put it in my Win7 PC. It was initially a pain but it is fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Use another mounting tool (better if on a COPY of that image) that allows R/W operations.Since you are going on a file-based recovery, you can use IMDISK allright:http://www.ltr-data.se/opencode.html/An alternative method should be that of using TESTDISK on the image to just copy the files:http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDiskjaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
