| vista home premium 32bit | xp root drive permissions messed up Hello! Greetings everyone. I installed xp (sp2 DIY streamlined) inside drive E: ; and vista (home premium) in C: . After I booted into vista, I decided to sort things out ;P so I simply rename/label drive E: to WINXP (since xp os inside), then the system warns and requires my permission and I allowed. Haha, since then, everytime I boot into xp, the system halt at the login screen, with NO accounts to choose and the screen keep flashing every now and then. I tried to boot in vista and checked user permissions for E: drive at right-click>property>security, compared to another pc and found that one user (unknownS-1-5-32-547) is missing, I guess this is the problem but not sure. Seems I cannot edit that unknown userS-1-5-32-547 to full control E:, as I propably REMOVED it when I label the drive, can I? (as inside vista, it is not available to be added as a new user) Can I somehow extract and import all users from xp to vista, and then add the user to full control E: ? Any hints are welcome. Many thanks, Harry |
