Alright, so my dad's computer crashed. So far what I've done is took over a 20gig HDD and installed Windows on it. He wants to get all of his files off the old HDD that I just swapped to a Slave. The data is in "\documents and settings\owner," unfortunately it has some sort of permissions on it that will not allow me in.
So I went and got my old Slax disc and booted up into Linux via LiveCD. I can view the files, but I really need to transfer them over to the new harddrive so I can format this one. Any ideas since this distro of Slax can't write to NTFS, hell I don't even know if there are other distros that can.
I just need the data, if there is any way to remove the protection that the last Windows installtion set or bypass it that would be great to know. Thanks
