Angry Access denied PARTITION

Hi everyone

Ive just reinstalled windows xp with 3 partitions. All were working fine. I restored a ghost imagie to the 3rd partition which contained 7 GB of data. now when i try and access the partition it says access denied, and in properties it says the partition is raw. In computer management however it shows that there is 7GB of data and even contains the partition label. But again if i try and access the partition i get access denied. can anyone help me pleazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Ive already tryed booting in safe mode

Have you

Have you formatted them AFTER using the ghost?

Partition Magic should help

Every time ive had an unsuccessful try ive reformatted the partition then tested that its ok. Partition magic isnt needed as the partitions themselves before there ghosted onto, are working fine.

Thanxs MJaeson

Partition Magic

Partition Magic doesn't only create partitions, it actually makes Raw partitions active, allowing access (also some formatting)

You made partitions and formated BEFORE using your ghost

Ghost programs usually damage other partitions because they remember the way the partitions were when the ghost was made, thus your other partitions become Raw partitions thus making them inaccessible.

Sorry, I had no intention of offending anyone

Joel, get back to where you were at first and try GetDataBack to recover your data from your unaccessible partition.

Can't you just try taking ownership off the partition?
It's telling you Access Denied because the windows installation on the ghost image was created with a different SID.

To take ownership of the partition follow this link

I know it says file or folder but the same applies.

Hope that helps

It might be that the Ghost image refers to one drive (e.g. C and your 3rd Partition is something else (e.g. D.
