TRK commands to remove permissions from photos

[gillywibble]

I have numerous JPEG pictures that have corrupted due to invalid user permissions following an XP re-install.

I wish to use Trinity Rescue Kit to hopefully remove or restore the user permissions.

Can anyone give me an idea of the commands? I have not used Linux before.

Thanks.

Assuming there's nothing special about TRK that would make it behave in a way that's not common for Linux distros (I've never used TRK so I can only speak generally), the best thing to do is mount the Windows partition then copy the files to external media. Now might be a great time to do CD/DVD backups of 'em. When you move the files away from the NTFS partition all the permission metadata will be removed.

I've tried to copy the files to a USB stick but I get 'permission denied'.

Is there another way of removing the permissions?

Thanks.

i dont know how to do this in Linux - but cant you just put the disk into another windows install and then take ownership of it. That should allow you to do whatever you like with it.
