Guys, I've had a quick search an can't seem to find a definitive answer…
I've got a vista image that I've mounted, I wanted to run media detective over the image but it wont work correctly until I gain full access to the vista mounted hard drive, I've tried applying security settings (my user account to the whole drive) but am having go manually go into each folder after taking ownership… It doesn't seem to want to do all the files/folders on the device that it would normally do.
I have tried it with MIP and now with FTK Imager (mount function with write caching enabled)…
any ideas how to do this nice and quickly?
Thanks
Greetings,
Try
subinacl subdirectories <path> /setowner=<user> /grant=<user>=F
That works for System Volume Information folders, and should work for your problem if I understand it correctly.
You can get subinacl from Microsoft.

David, thank you, that was really helpful, just ran it and it seemed to have worked!!
If you have a Windows 7 machine that you can use, get a copy of vhdtool.exe from Microsoft, and run the tool against a copy of the image, all it does is add a footer, and you'll be working off of a copy. Then mount the resulting VHD as a read-only virtual disk on your Windows 7 system.

Thanks, it worked using the guidance David offered, but will keep that in mind as well! )
