Post #282,434 by Andrew Grygus 4/19/07 11:22:16 PM 4/19/07 11:23:17 PM Reply	Yeah, I read that article. When I click on properties of a folder I need to take ownership of the security tab doesn't even appear. It only appears on folders that aren't a problem. Yes, I did try starting at the parent folder and selecting to propagate to subfolers. All I get is "not accessible" errors on any such subfolers. Yes I ran scandisk (from the desktop and from the repair console). Either Vista has changed something or this filesystem is munged beyond hope of recovery. Incidentally, I sometimes get "Folder not accessible, may have been moved or deleted" errors as well as "Access Denied" - but what does that mean? Even Bill Gates admitted Windows error messages are next to meaningless. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx] Edited by Andrew Grygus April 19, 2007, 11:23:17 PM EDT Expand All History

Post #282,572 by Andrew Grygus 4/21/07 1:07:03 PM Reply	Well, it saved a lot of time setting up NTFS-3g . . . . . but no luck. The "\\Documents and Settings" structure is still empty and the critical directories in the "\\Users" structure still show 0 files. Files cannot be created in or copied to those directories. I read the NTFS-3g FAQ and found no reference to not being able to see any files that were actually there - so I suspect the filesystem on this disk is just munged beyond hope.

She'd be ridiculed, ostracized, banished and banned - and talked about in hushed tones behind her back. She'd be deeply scarred for life (and might actually amount to something) - no, I can't take that responsibility. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
