I was changing the properties setting under the security tab in the Local
Disk (G:) Drive for Window XP PRO. After I selected "Everyone" and checked
all of the boxes under the deny list and clicking on Apply, it poped up with
message "You have denied everyone access to Local Disk (G:). No one will be
able to access Local Disk (G:) and only the owner will be able to change the
permissions." Then, I clicked Yes to continue and the drive (G:) immediately
became not accessible. Now, every time I click on (G:) drive, it give me
"Access is denied". I tried to restart the computer. After restarting the
computer, the (G:) drive is no longer a NTFS file system, but RAW and
displaying 0 bytes.

Changing the security setting - could this caused the whole partition to
wipe out deleting all the files and folders.

Is there a way to restore all the data back on this drive? What can I do?

Thanks,
Kevin

The files and folders should still be on the drive. It is foolish to
deny the everyone group access to the drive in the first place, as it
does exactly what it implies. The administrator should always have access.

First log on as the Administrator then open Explorer. Right click the G:
drive, select "Properties" and navigate to the Security tab. Click the
Advanced button and navigate to the "Owner" tab. You must take ownership
of the drive first, then re-assign the permissions to those users that
you wish to access the drive.
 
Kevin, this newsgroup is for questiions about security in Microsoft
Access, the database product.
