Hi, Windows question, but since it has to do with the way cygwin has assigned permissions, i thought it would be a relevant questions. i'm in the very unfortunate position of having a PC that won't boot properly.
by some miracle i've got access to the C: drive and i'm trying to back up my files to a flash drive. however... the cygwin home folder is giving me a LOT of trouble with access denied. i've tried takeown and icacls to fix permissions, and strangely it worked for _Some_ files, but i still have files which i need to back up which are causing "access denied" errors. i'm hoping someone who understands how cygwin has set permissions can give me a way to fix-up the permissions in ntfs land. any help greatly appreciated. thank you. -- Brian -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
