well, my friend had a hard drive that was at the brink of failure and it had windows and all of his music and beats that he created and it was a IDE drive and is would not ever boot windows. when i tried to put it in my system as a slave with all my SATA drives it stilll did not let windows boot. I tried puting it in a usb enclusure and windows would start up half way and freeze then i turning the external hard drive off and it continued starting up regularlly. I think it is posesed. so i tryed knoppix and it saw the drive as NTFS and my SATA's came up as USB's and i was able to transfer some of the files to my SATA hard drives. however it not all of the files were copyed becuase it said "could not change write permission for XXXXXXX file". and when i went back to windows the files that actully made it were perfectly fine. However i would like to know why it gave me the error message above, and how do i change wirte permission for my SATA drives. thanks
