Hi folks. I've got a WinXP system that has corrupted the XP setup and won't boot. I've put the drive in as a 2nd drive on another XP system and the file contents are fine, but I can't access the c:\Documents and Settings\Jemma folder because it comes up 'Access Denied' Could I put this drive into a Linux system, mount the fs (readonly would do) and copy the contents of that foler off? I've looked back through the archives and found emails relating to NTFS support not being included, and other problems. What would I have to do to get NTFS support onto an existing system? Alternatively, can anyone tell me how to bypass the NTFS security within WinXP - off-list please as it would be going OT then.
