I recently decided to switch back to Vista x64 after having some install issues, and fighting with programs that did not come out with an XP x64 release. Unfortunately, I did not just copy the files I wanted to back up to another drive. Instead, I used Acronis True Image Home 11 to make a full backup of the partition, in hopes that I could mount it and copy files over, even if I had to restore sections of the partition.
To my anguish, I have been fighting with the permissions of the backup partition, trying to access my old files. I have tried giving my current Vista account full access (including in Safe Mode), and changing the parameters from read-only, but as soon as I go to apply the change, Vista gives me a "You do not have sufficient permission to complete this action..." error.
Anyone with any advice would be tremendously appreciated. (The topic seems to be a little too broad to rely on Google, as it has been little help in this matter).
