Win NT 4.0 Permissions

[NJLOAD]

Help. I just changed the permission on a Drive to no access and now I can't even access it. Its Fat32... I was doing sub directories on the same drive and it work ok. Anyone know whats up with this? This is a work computer running NT 4.0. I'm going on vacation and thought I would protect some files from prying eyes and now wonder If I created more problems for myself.

I thought NT4.0 couldnt access the Fat32 partitions ...unless you got that Fat32 driver for NT4.0

Yo,
Sheesh... I must be getting old because I don't remember for certain off the top of my head. Gray hairs.

If memory serves, NT can only properly read and utilize FAT16 and NTFS.

Wow don't know what happened to last post. I'm on a LAN at work so I don't know how they have the system set up, but I was able to access the drive and sub dir's. I changed the permissions on some of the sub's and was able to go back and reverse them, but when I clicked on the D drive in explorer and changed the permission on the whole drive, I could not go back and reverse it "Access Denied" message. Any ideas?

It is definately Fat32 because I checked the properties of the drive before.

Thanks
Dave

Can you log onto the PC with the Fat32 drive and add your ID to access from that PC for that drive?
