Subject: Re: [H] Network copy Vs USB copy & Sharing My Documents
Another nice thing if you find a user account screwed up and are using
fast user switching withthe welcome screen: If no one is logged in you
can press CTRL-ALT-DEL Twice on the Select your user screen and the normal
windows login prompt will come up.
Way too often using username Administrator with no password gives you full
access to their system, even if they have a user account they forgot to
give you the password for.
I used the example of a customer bringing me a hard drive merely as an
illustration. I prefer they not do this. My point is if all you have is
their hard drive because their motherboard has died or for another reason,
how to you remove data protection?
In many situations their computer will not be up and running until I have
formatted their hard drive and installed Windows again. When I said I can
copy this protected data I was referring to a Ghost clone of the whole Drive
C. Naturally I can not copy just one folder (My Documents) of protected
data.
I am not talking about corrupted hard drives, damaged hard drives or any
problem other than the data being protected. I am referring to the situation
where I can not open the My Documents folder or copy it, once I have
attached the hard drive that hosts it to my shop computer.
Thanks,
