NTFS Weird problem
Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 1:25 pm
Hey guys.
Me and my father are trying to backup files from his WinXP Pro. laptop computer to our family PC.
We've managed to copy everything we needed, except for one folder.
That folders name, subfolders' names, and sub-files' names are all presented in a green text (instead of the default black font).
The drive they're on is set up using NTFS.
Now, the problem is, that we cannot perform any action on any of the files or folders, except from viewing the folders.
Not open the files, not copy and paste somwhere else, definitely not cut and paste. Everything returns a permission denied error. We can't even copy and paste the files to the desktop.
EDIT: We CAN, after testing this out, delete these files. What the hell is going on?
Any idea how to solve this NTFS menace?
