Hey guys I just imaged my laptop hard drive to my main computer through my network in Ghost. I made a folder in C: called laptop and had my image file in there. After the image, i put a couple of folders and files in that same directory. I tried opening those folders and it says "Access Denied", tried deleting the files, it deleted the image file but not the folders i can't access. I ran the xp recovery console, tried deleting the folder and it's a no go, access denied. What's weird is that i can rename the main folder, but can't touch the files in the folder. I booted to ghost again and i did a disk integrity, it was going through all my files in my c:, it was going through files in that folder i can't access in windows! I downloaded NTFS PRO, i can see the files in DOS, not windows. When i try to delete some files, it says "Access Denied." Any suggestions? All help is highly appreciated! Thanks

NTFS? check your file permissions...you might have to claim the ownership of the file to delete it
