Permissions and Seven

Hi,

A few days ago, I restored an image of my Vista partition from within the 6801 partition. ( vista is 1st partition, System, Boot, Active ).

IT restored fine, booted up fine, but I couldn't get into Vista. My Vista admin account didn't have permission.

Tried changing permissions in 6801 for the Vista partition, without success.

I never need to set up users , so have little experience of setting permissions and the Help file is incomprehensible - to me , at least.

Sorted it out by deleting 6801 partition, restoring Vista again - using same image and the Macrium bootable cd.

Then tried the opposite - restoring 6801 image from within Vista.

That worked fine and had no trouble getting either o/s.

Seems Seven (6801 anyway ) is much tighter with permissions. If that's the case, it may turn out to be a real nuisance.

Anyone else had a similar experience?

Thanks Shawn,

You know how I like to find things by experimenting.

Curious thing is , if you restore an image from within Vista - no problem.

If you restore from within 7 - you can't get in.

Seems permissions are organised differently.

It may be it only happened because the image I restored from within 7 was the System partition, which it wants to protect?

Interested to see if anybody else comes across any permissions issues.
