Hi AJT;
Thanks for replying;
No I don't have 8.5,
The highest I have installed it 6.5 and the highest SRD I have is 8.0x (which is still an ISO on the HDD as I haven't burned it yet)
I do have a physical copy of the 7.0x SRD,
- I'm not completely satisfied that the newer version(s) will be able to read my older backups, I keep all backup images, with the exception of: test backups, corrupted / failed backups, or possible infected backups(which I am glad to say I don't have any or haven't had any),
This "was" a data drive I copied, so it was a lot of work down the drain,
- no way to change the permissions not even one at a time
(I don't believe that it was a solo copy though because I usually run paired disks not RAID just "Manual Duplicates" only I don't know where the other one is or if I'll be able to access the data, because I don't know which one was a copy of the other)
The last time I had problems with permissions was attempting to attach an XPPro "C:\" disk to an XPHome as a USB disk to get some of my user files from it,
-I couldn't do anything because the permissions of the $MFT couldn't be broke so it would just sit there pegged @ 100% and click once in a while, (there's nothing wrong with that disk because it's back in the machine and working)
- this is one Major reason I hate NTFS and why FAT32 will never be completely dead, (especially in my house)
