How to change Win 7 folder permissions on a linux PC?
Hi
Is there a way/utility to change Windows 7 x64' folders' permissions for user (C:\Users\SS) on a linux pc?
I have the boot up problem (Win 7 OS) of black screen of death with mouse pointer, after accessing the folder from Windows 10 and accidentally clicked Ok to to the prompt that 'You dont currently have permission to access this folder - click ok to permanently get access to this folder' as win 10 prompt me. So it no longer boots in to win 7 (my main win 7 which I dont want to reinstall).
As a second drive in a another win 7x64 OS, I cant even access its content or size, no bar next to the drive, just the label and the word NTFS, double clicking it you get the message 'F:\is not accessible. Access denied.' - it looks just like it is corrupted or bad partition or bad boot sector, but it isnt, I know that SSD couple of years old, never had a problem.
I run CHCDSK & SFC /scannow no problems found. Yet if I boot from this drive, it goes very fast to the Black Screen Of Death with mouse pointer - no commands, task man or any key entry, just a moveable mouse pointer, no log in, if I press press on/off button it sees that and says 'shutting down' and does but thats it.
Since I cant access it in windows environment, I am trying to access and repair it in linux if possible
Thanks for any pointers, bear in mind I am very beginner in linux.
