Cannot access any recovered files

[Lkaz]

Hello,

I upgraded to Windows 8 yesterday from the Consumer Preview, and while the upgrade seems to have gone along fine, I can no longer access any of my files that were recovered from the windows.old file. Whenever I do, I get a message saying I don't have the right permissions, etc.

I am the sole user on my computer and the security settings in the properties for every file / folder I'm trying to access have my username, and administrators listed as having Full Access.

Any tips?

You could try taking ownership. Also, you could try allowing full access to everyone.

I did the taking ownership, and every account (only one), has full access and each permission box checked. Didn't change anything

Heck. I'd still try giving everyone full access.
