hello,

in my previous xp installations, i never reformated all drives. i just
formated c: which actullay contains the os and all other programs i've
installed on it. so, i kept safe my data all the time on other drives.

all my drives are ntfs.

in some previouse xp installs, i tried to apply permissions to invidual
files & folders. later i reinstalled xp many times, and now switched to
vista. now many of these files & folders are not accessable, and i get access
denied error when i try to open the folder.

can anyone tell me how i can RESET permissions to default on my all other
drives (other than c:)? and also how i can unlock those locked files &
folders.

many thanks,
