Laughing-Man Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 If those files that you backed up are on a FAT32 file system and you made the new harddrive NTFS, then you won't be able to transfer them, if that is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSD Buajam! Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 mm, i think that if you enter to msdos mode, you will copy your backup in the new HD.... good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arsekicker Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Use the same login name that you had previously. Right click on my documents, properties, and move to your previous my document's folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger H. Veteran Posted February 15, 2002 Veteran Share Posted February 15, 2002 use a file synchronizer. check www.download.com and get one and sync the the folders... i don't think it matters and it happened like that wiht me before... there should be a securtiy tab or something when you right click the folders though...

Geronimo Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Try to take ownership of the folders. The problem is the SID is different on the backed up folders then the new folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+primortal Subscriber² Posted February 15, 2002 Subscriber² Share Posted February 15, 2002 If you encrypted those files using XP EFS it think you are screwed! The whole idea of encrypting the files is so that no one else can read them if the HD was stolen or someone got illegal access to your pc. I believe that when you install/reinstall new public key is generated for each installation. Being you encrypted you files with one key (previous install) and then reinstalled XP a new key is generated which isn't the same key that the files were initially encrypted with so now you cannot decrypt your files. How to take ownership SID is Security Identifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
