Restoring hard drive image
Last response: in Storage
I have a backup.img file, which is an image of my crashed Win XP drive. If I go into Windows 7 and mount the image, it won't let me copy the files across. I can see the directory tree but cannot navigate into Documents and Settings due to permission reasons.
So, I need to get this image on my E: drive, and extract that into the files and folders onto the spare space on my E: drive. Due to the permission problems, I figure I might need to do this using a linux bootcd, such as UBCD or Hiren's boot CD. After all, the image was made using Parted Magic from one of those CD's. In fact, its what I have loaded right now on my spare PC.
Anyone know how I can take that backup.img and extract it using one of these bootup CD's, Parted Magic or something similar?
Thanks,
Jon

If you have an administrator account you can gain access to the protected folders in Windows by right-clicking on them in Windows Explorer and choosing the security options. You need to:
1) first: take ownership of the folder and all of its contents, then
2) set the permissions to allow read access by your account
