    Windows Xp -Win 7
    « on: March 25, 2010, 02:25:22 AM »
    I want to know, if it's possible , to get my files from another diskdrive with xp  who won't boot again
    too my win7 ultimate
    I want to do this, but several times i get the message, that i.m not the owner of the drive(D:)
    winxp on the D:
    and win 7 on the C:
    In Win 7 i see al the directories from the xp drive(D)
    tried to copy en paste them, but it keeps me anoying , that i have too get first , to get the owner pop up!
    Is there a faster way?I'll already dos prompted the drives, and copied severeal times this way, but D: is 320 gigs on size :(.
    There is only 1 account (administrator account with my name)

    You need to take ownership of the XP Files: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308421

      It doesn't get any easier than that.

        Ok Allan, but the thing is, the link you send me is for Win XP, not for Win7, wich i'm working on right now.
        So, complete directories copying from XP to Win 7, is what i want, without the anoying ownership thing(security)

        It works the same in Win7...
        You can't do anything with those files til you follow Allans info.
